How to Make Carrot Cake Pancakes

Preheat your griddle or non-stick pan to medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the grated carrots, eggs, milk, oil, and sugar. Mix well.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip only once when bubbles start to appear on the surface.
Serve immediately. Top with softened cream cheese frosting, chopped walnuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.
