Carrot Cake Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 carrot, cut + partially steamed (or just raw if you’re in a rush!)
• 1 banana
• 1/2 cup egg whites
• 3 oz plain greek yogurt (1/2 small chobani container)

• 1 tbsp flax
• 1 tsp vanilla
• Spices to your liking (I used mostly cinnamon with some allspice, nutmeg, and ginger)

Use a blender to mix everything together until it’s a smooth, even texture. Add water if its too thick (I used around 1/4 cup water) and blend it in. Then, pour out and cook on a non-stick pan or griddle with some olive oil.

Makes 10 (delicious) pancakes! Each one has 62 calories, 1 g fat, 3.5 g protein, and only 2 g of sugar.

There are good eaten plain, with some greek yogurt, sliced banana, maple syrup, walnuts, etc. Feel free to experiment :)

Personally, I would eat a few of these for breakfast along with scrambled eggs or oatmeal and some fruit!
