Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix, nuts, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger, stirring with a whisk.
  • Combine brown sugar, oil, vanilla, and pancake mix requirements (eggs, water, oil, etc) in a separate bowl. Add sugar mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Fold in 2 cups carrot.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Spoon batter by ¼-cup mounds onto pan, spreading with a spatula. Cook for 2 minutes or until tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. Carefully turn pancakes over; cook 1 minute or until bottoms are lightly browned. Be careful not to undercook them or the carrots will be crunchy.
  • Repeat procedure with remaining batter.
  • Serve warm with butter and syrup, with cream cheese syrup (link in notes below), or with honey butter.

Notes

These are delicious served with cream cheese syrup, regular maple syrup, or honey butter.
My favorite pancake mixes are Krusteaz Protein Pancake Mix (has gluten) and Pamela's Baking and Pancake Mix (gluten-free). Both are excellent in this recipe and in general for that matter.
This recipe comes from the ebook Coffee Filters to Cheese Graters: Creative Ways to Use Just About Everything. It's a collection of tips and recipes designed to put the kitchen tools you rarely use (like your bundt pan, muffin tin, and cheese grater) to frequent use in healthy and delicious ways.
