What makes for the best carrot cake?  I think it’s coconut!  I liked these pancakes so much I made them for days in a row..and nobody complained.  They are fluffy and hearty at the same time.  And delicious.

Make an easy 2 second syrup alternative:

• combine yogurt with vanilla stevia to taste–it’s healthier than syrup!
  Top with some nuts for an extra ‘carrot cake’ taste.  Enjoy!  

Just in case you needed a few more reasons to eat these…

• whole eggs provide complete usable protein
• good source of B vitamins–destress with breakfast!
• sneaking some veggies into breakfast–yes, you should!
• chia seeds provide some Omega 3′s, and a great source of fiber and antioxidants
• coconut oil=healthy fats

Look at this delicious texture!

   I am obsessed with pancakes lately – I think your blog is partly to blame. (those plantain fritters …omg, I’m still not over them!) I usually make my pancakes with bananas but this week I’m definitely going to swap for carrots! Love the yogurt idea!

     These are good pancakes to be obsessed with! It’s okay to be obsessed if they’re healthy like this Let me know how you like them! And yeah, I’ve replaced syrup quite often with this replacement.
