Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • These easy pancakes mimic a favorite dessert!
  • Best way to use that leftover cup of carrots from dinner!
  • Just like you can't have carrot cake without cream cheese frosting, these pancakes aren't complete without some Cream Cheese Syrup!
  • Perfect for just a Saturday morning or something fancy like Easter Brunch!

Ingredient Notes

  • Pureed Carrots - This recipe calls for pureed carrots instead of shredded carrots or grated carrots. For the steamed pureed carrots, you can do one of two things.  Either puree 1 cup of sliced or diced steamed fresh carrots in a food processor until smooth, adding enough water to make them "baby food" consistency. This is a great use for those leftover carrots from dinner. OR just use a 4 oz container of baby food carrots.  If you make too much, just freeze the leftovers for next time, or make a larger batch of steamed pureed carrots and use them in my Carrot Sheet Cake.
  • Flour - All-purpose flour, never self-rising flour.
  • Olive Oil - You can use any cooking oil you like: vegetable oil, canola oil, coconut oil, etc...

Recipe FAQs and Expert Tips

What other kinds of syrups are good on these?

If cream cheese syrup is a bit too rich for you, try this Cinnamon Cream Syrup! Buttermilk Syrup or Homemade Butter Maple Syrup would be delicious also!
