Ingredients

  • 2 cups pancake mix
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup finely shredded carrots
  • TOPPINGS:
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup whipped cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, toasted
  • Finely shredded carrots, optional

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. In a small bowl, beat eggs and milk; stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Stir in carrots.
  2. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a nonstick skillet or a greased hot griddle. Turn pancakes when bubbles form on top; cook until second side is golden brown.
  3. For syrup, in a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup and cinnamon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 2 minutes. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and milk. Serve pancakes with cream cheese mixture and half the syrup; sprinkle with nuts and, if desired, shredded carrots. Cover and refrigerate remaining syrup; save for another use.
