Carrot Cake Pancakes

I'm hooking up with Today's Creative Blog for Get Your Craft On! Be sure and stop by to see all the other projects!

Today I'm linking up with Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphosis Monday.





I'm still trying to finish painting my living room. I still have the woodwork left to do, but I wanted to share my latest project. Here's a picture of my bare wall.




My husband offered to put our new vinyl on the wall and Sloan wanted to help. I tend to put things up crooked. My hubby was smart, he used a level.

I wouldn't of even thought of using a level!


Here's a better picture of my sweet hubby. He's cute, huh!


I thought it turned out pretty good. I still have more to do, so I'll share that later!




I found this recipe on a blog the other day, and now I can't remember who's blog. So, if it was you please let me know! As soon as I saw the recipe I knew I had to make them! What a sneaky way to get a vegetable in at breakfast! The family loved them, well, except Sloan. She didn't like seeing the carrots in them. I thought they tasted like carrot cake.

Carrot Cake Pancakes

1 1/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
Dash of ground cloves
Dash of ground ginger
1/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk ( I soured milk with vinegar)
1 tablespoon oil
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups finely grated carrot (about 1 pound)
Cooking spray

Honey Butter for Topping

3 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons honey

In a large bowl measure all the dry ingredients. Whisk to combine.
Measure the wet ingredients into a small bowl and whisk. Combine the wet
ingredients to the dry and mix, add the grated carrot and whisk until just
combined.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Spoon 4 (1/4 cup) batter 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. Repeat procedure twice with remaining batter. Combine butter and honey in a small bowl; serve with pancakes.
