Greek Yogurt Carrot Cake Pancakes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the Greek yogurt, milk, and honey (or maple syrup) to the eggs, whisking until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Fold in the grated carrots and nuts if using.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a little butter.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping pancakes warm in a low oven if necessary.
  8. Serve warm topped with cream cheese maple syrup.

For the Cream Cheese Maple Syrup:

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
