Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup homemade oat flour
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 34 tbsp coconut sugar (or unrefined sugar of choice)
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups almond milk (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded carrot
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)
  • 2 tbsp dried raisins (or shredded coconut)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond milk, lemon juice, oil, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
  2. In another large bowl, combine oat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and coconut sugar.
  3. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir gently until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Fold in shredded carrots, chopped nuts, and raisins until evenly mixed.
  5. Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce to low heat once hot.
  6. Scoop 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the pan. Cook for 2 minutes until bubbles form and edges are set.
  7. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Repeat with remaining batter to make about 14 pancakes.
  9. Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or coconut yogurt.

Notes

  • Use store-bought oat flour or blend rolled oats into a fine powder.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender.
  • Make-ahead tip: prep dry and wet ingredients separately the night before.
