Ingredients
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar packed
- 1 ½ cups 2% milk (or whole milk)
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 large egg beaten
- ½ cup walnuts toasted and chopped
Instructions
- Peel the carrots and shred them using a bow grater or food processor until you have 1/2 cup of carrots. Lay the shredded carrots on a paper towel and press down with another paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the beaten egg, milk, and butter. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar.
- Add the shredded carrots and walnuts to the dry ingredients, and then pour in the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.
- Let the pancake batter rest for 30 minutes. (If you need to cook pancakes right away, you can. The batter gets better if you have to let it sit, though.)
- Place a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Melt some butter in the skillet and then spoon 1/4 cup of pancake batter into the skillet for each pancake. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Cook until bubbles form on top of each pancake. Flip the pancakes over and cook until the bottom is golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve warm with maple syrup and extra walnuts, if desired.

Notes
- To toast the walnuts, place a skillet over medium heat. Add the walnuts and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly browned and smell toasted. Transfer the nuts to a bowl, and once cool enough to handle, chop them up.
