A couple weeks ago I wrote about a sneaky veggie dinner and got to thinking about carrots and how I wanted to sneak them into something.
FoodFash Carrot Buckwheat Pancakes (yields 2 pancakes)
1/3 cup of buckwheat pancake mix
1/4 cup of almond milk
1 egg
1/2 carrot, shredded
Mix all of the ingredients in no particular order and get your pancake on!
The carrot/buckwheat combo made for a hearty little breakfast. It wasn’t sweet in any way, so topping with a tablespoon of pure maple syrup gave it a little sweetness without turning them into dessert pancakes. And the best part? I felt comfortably full, energized, and ready to take on the day afterward!
What is your go-to power breakfast?
Those look yummy–almost like carrot cake! Brian loves pancakes, so maybe I’ll try them soon.
Almost! Not nearly as sweet though. I’d add some maple syrup in the batter if you’re looking for sweetness. Let me know how they turn out if you end up trying them!
My favorite breakfast is a green smoothie. I sneak veggies into those too. 🙂 These pancakes look so good!
I need to get back into green smoothies, I feel so great after I drink them. I think I have an aversion to cleaning the blender afterward 🙂
These look GREAT! I’m so glad Emily posted a link to them. I need these!! However, I only have buckwheat flour…not pancake mix. Any idea what else I’d have to include? haha 🙂
Thank you! I just looked at the side of the pancake mix box and along with buckwheat flour it also has whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt. Maybe do half and half buckwheat/whole wheat flour and maybe 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon of salt? I’ve made a couple variations since this post, banana chia seed and apple cinnamon chia seed that I added maple syrup to the mix and then eat plain. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy!!
Awesome! Thanks, Kristin! 🙂
You are very welcome 🙂
