Here's a way for fans of carrot cake to have their favorite dessert for breakfast. These delicate, decadent pancakes are drizzled with sweet and spicy maple syrup that complements the sour cream and nut topping. —Leane Goering, Salem, Indiana

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

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.
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.
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.

Light, fluffly pancakes that definetly reminds me of my favorite carrot cake. So good, that I question the (2 pancake) serving. More like 4 pancakes!! I used 'tub' whipped cream cheese without sweetening it. It makes a great balance against the sweet syrup. So delicious!

This one fits the looking for something different bill. It’s light and very tasty . The seasoned up Maply Syruip just takes it over the top. Speaking of tops I topped mine with toasted pecans, sautéed carrots and toasted coconut. I did not use the cream cheese. No butter needed for these sweet, rich little cakes. VFE.
