Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Carrots

Time 35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (21.4 ounce) box carrot cake mix (with carrots and raisins packet)
1 ¼ cups hot water
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
⅓ cup chopped pecans
⅓ cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups cream cheese frosting
¼ cup grated carrots
¼ cup toasted chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Stir carrots and raisins packet and hot water together in a bowl.
  • Stir carrot cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs together in a bowl until batter is well-combined. Stir carrot-raisin-hot water mixture into batter. Add 1/3 cup chopped pecans to batter; stir in enough flour to reach a pancake-batter consistency.
  • Heat a griddle over medium-high heat and brush with melted butter. Drop batter by 1/3 cupfuls onto griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Transfer pancakes to a wire rack to cool.
  • Place 1 pancake on a plate and top with a layer of cream cheese frosting. Place another pancake on top of the frosting and top with another layer of cream cheese frosting. Top with a final pancake and garnish with 1/4 of the shredded carrot and 1/4 of the toasted pecans. Repeat with remaining pancakes, frosting, carrots, and pecans to create 3 more cakes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, grated carrots. Fresh carrots provide the best flavor and texture for these pancakes. If you don't have fresh carrots on hand, you can use frozen or canned carrots, but the flavor will be less vibrant.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. Medium heat will help the pancakes cook evenly without burning them.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately. Carrot cake pancakes are best served hot and fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply warm them in a toaster or oven.

Conclusion:

Carrot cake pancakes are a delicious and festive breakfast or brunch option. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their sweet and spicy flavor, these pancakes are sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
