Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- ¼ cup milk (unsweetened almond milk recommended)
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 Tablespoons avocado oil or melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- ½ Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup grated carrot (about 1 large carrot)
- 1 cup grated apple (about 1 large apple)
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats (gluten free if needed)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Blend Wet Ingredients: Combine eggs, milk, honey or maple syrup, oil, vanilla extract, grated carrots, and grated apples into a high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and the apple and carrots are completely pureed.
- Add Dry Ingredients and Blend: Add the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt into the blender with the pureed wet ingredients. Blend again until you achieve a smooth batter and the oats are fully broken down.
Note: If you don’t have a high-speed blender, first blend the oats alone until flour-like, then mix dry ingredients separately with the wet blended mixture. - Preheat Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, portion the batter onto the skillet. Cook each pancake for about 3 minutes per side or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges are set. Add more oil as needed while cooking.
- Serve and Store: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings. Allow leftovers to cool completely and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes

- Adjust sweetener quantity to taste or substitute with preferred natural sweeteners.
- Additional oil or butter may be needed during cooking to prevent sticking.
