We ALL love these pancakes especially with some chocolate chips or cranberries!
Orange Carrot Pancakes
Serves 4
Dry Ingredients
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
4 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 TBL sugar
1 large carrot, peeled and finely shredded or vitamixed into some of the liquid
1 zest lemon (optional)
1 zest orange (optional)
Wet Ingredients
2 cups total liquid (water with at least 1/4 cup real preservative free orange juice or lemon juice)
3 TBL oil
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat pan to low-medium heat (1 notch above simmer). Combine dry ingredients. I love to use the vitamix to liquefy the carrot into some of the wet ingredients to really hide the carrots. Add liquid ingredients. Whisk until just mixed. Drop ¼ cup of batter into pan and add toppings (we love sliced cranberries or chocolate chips). Covering the pan (cracked to allow steam to escape) helps cook the pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbly and edges are cooked. Cook 2-3 more minutes after flipping.
