Okay, so I really super wanted pancakes. I also kinda wanted to make my favorite carrot bars from the Lean Green Bean. But the thing is, I didn’t want to wait for them to bake. Yes, I know. So impatient. So I threw together these pancakes, and they are delicious. They are quite fluffy, and the carrots make them moist. Does it tastes like carrot cake? No! Because, I mean, it isn’t carrot cake. But they are quite good, and super nourishing. I topped mine with a lightly sweetened Greek Yogurt and granola, and it truly brought the yum factor even higher.
The great news is that it makes quite a few, so you’ll have plenty of leftovers for later in the day or breakfast tomorrow.
