Gluten-Free Carrot Pancakes

These Gluten-Free Carrot Pancakes are super healthy, fluffy with gorgeous earthy colour and flavour. It is fun to go beyond the usual pancakes and try something different.

If you like a carrot cake, you will enjoy these delicious gluten-free carrot pancakes. After all, who doesn’t like pancakes, especially when they taste like a carrot cake. Yes, a carrot cake but healthier. 

In this recipe, I used carrots, flaxseed, walnuts, and to sweeten them up a splash of pure maple syrup. For the carrot cake flavour, I used cinnamon and nutmeg. For added healthiness, I included flax seeds. Flax seeds are nutrient-rich and are a good source of dietary fiber. For this gluten-free pancake recipe, you have the option to use regular or dairy-free milk. Dairy-free milk is essential for those who are lactose intolerant. What I love most about this gluten-free carrot pancake recipe is that you can get your kids to eat more carrots without them knowing. So, another easy way to get your kids eating more vegetables. We need all the recipes with hidden fruit and veggies in them that we can find to keep a diet for our kids nutritionally well balanced, especially for the finicky eaters.

♥ What toppings go best with carrot pancakes?

We all know pancakes are only as good as the toppings. Here are some favourable toppings to make these gluten-free carrot pancakes extra special. Starting with my favourite pancake topping pure maple syrup, I know classic and simple, but the maple syrup accentuates the earthy flavours in these wholesome pancakes. Some other toppings that my family loves are fresh fruit, chopped nuts, butter (or vegan butter), cream cheese, powdered coconut sugar, yogurt, jam or marmalade and even whipped cream.
