Indulge in flavorful carrot cake pancakes for a unique breakfast twist!
Ingredients:
  • 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 cup whole buttermilk
  • 0.25 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 0.75 cup finely grated carrot
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for griddle
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons golden raisins
  • 3 tablespoons toasted chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 3 tablespoons toasted unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped candied ginger
Instructions:
  • Assemble all your ingredients.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt, whisking until fully mixed.
  • Combine buttermilk, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla in a bowl; mix until just combined. Gently fold in carrots and melted butter until just combined. Set mixture aside.
  • Make the Frosting: Combine cream cheese, milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl, whisk until smooth. Set aside.
  • Combine raisins, pecans, coconut, and optional ginger in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and generously grease with butter.
  • In batches, pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet, leaving space between them. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges appear dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until fluffy and slightly firm, about 1 minute. Repeat with the rest of the batter, adjusting heat and adding butter as necessary.
  • Divide pancakes onto 4 plates, drizzle with frosting, and sprinkle with topping evenly.
