What better way to spring forward today than with some carrot cake pancakes? Aside from getting that extra hour back, of course! These pancakes have 38 grams of protein, perfect to get me geared up for leg day 🙂 Plus carrot cake makes me think of Easter which makes me think of spring, so these just seem fitting for breakfast today.  Obviously it has nothing to do with the fact that I have a ton of carrots in my refrigerator…

I know some people don’t like raisins at all, let alone in their pancakes or carrot cake.  I like raisins though, especially when they cook in the pancake batter and get all soft and plump 🙂 I chopped them up so they wouldn’t overpower the pancakes if they bunched up in the batter.

So in the ingredients list I’ve got this thing called Walden Farms Pancake Syrup…you may be asking yourself “what in the world is that?” Let me tell you about it.  It’s like a miracle calorie free, sugar free, fat free maple syrup that doesn’t taste like maple syrup 100% but it’s pretty damn close.  For no extra carbs or calories, I’ll take it!  They also have it in chocolate, blueberry, caramel and strawberry.  My next ones to try are the chocolate and caramel…you can find them on Amazon, the Walden Farms website, VitaCost, Bodybuilding.com etc.
Thanks to the carrots and applesauce, these are nice and moist on the inside!

    Sounds delicious, but what is "one serving"? One pancake? And how big are the pancakes 6"?
    If you are going to create recipes for people who are serious athletes, know that they want to be able to easily and correctly count their calories. Also, I like your recipes, but will switch all "artificial" ingredients for something not artificial. Thanks for publishing. Good Luck! Michele in ATX
