Ingredients

• 1 cup grated carrot

• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup milk of choice I used unsweetened almond milk
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients into a high-speed blender. If you don't have a high-speed blender, see the above tips for blending suggestions.
2. Blend until smooth, being sure to scrape down the sides occasionally to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Once the oil is warm, portion the batter out into pancakes.
4. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side.
5. Enjoy warm, topped with favorite topping (see above for suggestions)
6. Allow leftovers to cool completely and store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
