CARROT CAKE OATMEAL PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: oatmeal, nutmeg, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: flax egg, grated carrot, mashed banana, plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce.
• Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and combine well.
• Heat a skillet over medium-low heat.
• Using a ladle, pour the desired amount of batter into the pan.
• Turn the pancake when bubbles appear on top and underneath is firm.
• Remove from the pan when they turn a light golden color and the batter is fully cooked.
• Repeat steps 5-7 until the batter is gone.
• To make the plant-based cream, place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.
• Serve pancakes covered with plant-based cream.

CARROT CAKE OAT FLOUR PANCAKES

Steps:

• Place the oats in a clean, dry blender. Blend or pulse for 5-10 seconds - about until the oats turn into the texture of flour. Combine the ground oats with the milk and egg. Let sit 10 minutes to let the mixture thicken.
• Stir in the baking powder, sugar (if using), spices, vanilla extract, and grated carrots.
• Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium, until small drops of water sizzle and evaporate within a few seconds. Swirl butter until it melts but doesn't brown.
• Drop two tablespoons of pancake batter onto the griddle. Cook pancakes - 3 at a time- in the hot pan until small bubbles form on the top. Flip once. The pancakes should be golden brown. Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, extra carrots, and chopped walnuts. Enjoy!

CARROT CAKE PANCAKES WITH MAPLE-CREAM CHEESE DRIZZLE AND TOASTED PECANS

Steps:

• For the pancakes: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spices, baking soda and sea salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla in a large bowl. Add the carrots and orange zest, if using, and mix until smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Fold in the ginger and pecans, if using, and mix until just combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Coat the skillet with cooking spray or brush with melted butter. Spoon 1/4 cup mounds of the batter onto the skillet, spreading with a spatula. Cook until the tops are covered with bubbles and the edges look cooked, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes over and cook until the bottoms are lightly browned, about 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining batter. Keep the cooked pancakes warm in the oven on a baking sheet, if desired.
• For the maple-cream cheese drizzle: Combine the cream cheese, maple syrup and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment until combined, about 2 minutes.
• To serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle with the maple-cream cheese drizzle. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts or pecans, if using.

CARROT CAKE OATMEAL

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a heavy, large saucepan, and stir in the oats. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook oats until they begin to thicken, about 10 minutes; mix in the apple, carrot, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Let the oats simmer until tender, about 20 more minutes.
• While the oats are simmering, melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, and stir in the pecans. Toast the nuts until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 5 minutes, then sprinkle with brown sugar and stir until sugar has melted and coated the pecans.
• Serve in bowls, each topped with about 2 tablespoons of the pecan mixture and a dollop of yogurt.

HEALTHY CARROT AND OATMEAL PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix first 5 ingredients together using a hand blender making sure that the carrots get fully blended - no lumps left.
• In a second bowl mix the rest of the ingredients together then pour dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix the dough thoroughly with the hand blender.
• Remember that eggs vary in size and that flour absorbes more or less liquid. If the dough seems to thick add more buttermilk - if it seems to thin add more all purpose flour!
• Let the pancake dough rest for 20 minuttes.
• Fry pancakes in a little vegetable oil - you can easily make 3 at a time in the frying pan.

CARROT CAKE BAKED OATMEAL

Steps:

• For the cream cheese topping: Combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar and vanilla in a small bowl. Mix well until smooth. Set aside.
• For the carrot cake baked oatmeal: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the oats and pecans in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Cook and toss until the oats and pecans are lightly toasted and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly while the oven preheats.
• To the skillet with the oats and pecans, add the carrots, raisins, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg and 1/2 cup brown sugar and toss to combine. In a large spouted measuring cup, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla. Whisk to combine. Pour over the oat mixture. Stir and toss to combine well, making sure all of the oats are evenly distributed in the egg mixture.
• Sprinkle the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Dollop dots of the cream cheese topping over the surface of the oatmeal. Bake until the oatmeal is set and slightly puffed and the top is golden and caramelized, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
