Hello to all the friends of Dessert Now, Dinner Later! We are Julie and Maddie from Tastes of Lizzy T. We’re a mother & daughter team who love spending time creating and learning together in the kitchen. If you’ve followed us at all, you know that we love our sweets. Baking is relaxing and fun for us, so we always have something in the oven! What may not be so obvious is that we really try to eat clean, sugar-free, grain-free, healthy foods at mealtimes. And if we can start our day with ahealthy breakfast, we find ourselves eating healthier as the day goes on!

One of our favorite things for breakfast is pancakes. When we started trying to eat more “clean” foods 8 months ago, we knew we had to find a pancake recipe that we could enjoy regularly without all of the flour and sugar. These Carrot Cake Pancakes were the answer!

You’ll love these pancakes because they are full of wholesome ingredients. They have coconut and almond flour which makes them grain-free. Many of the other ingredients are versatile. For the butter, you can use ghee, grass-fed butter, or just your favorite brand of butter. To give these the perfect sweetness, use maple syrup, agave, or even unsweetened applesauce. You’ll love how these are seasoned and won’t even notice that they are full of carrots! We hope you enjoy these pancakes as much as we have. We’ll be sharing more of our “clean” recipes this year, so be sure to follow along with us!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour

  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
