A delightful twist on classic pancakes, incorporating the natural sweetness of carrots and a hint of cinnamon.
Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help achieve a smoother batter.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and applesauce.
Ensure the egg is fully incorporated for a consistent texture.
Grate the carrot finely and add it to the wet mixture.
Use the smallest side of the grater for a finer texture.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy.
Heat a griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Ensure the griddle is evenly heated before adding the batter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
Flip the pancakes gently to maintain their shape.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
Consider serving with a dollop of yogurt and a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor.
