Gluten Free & Dairy Free Carrot Cake Pancakes

Ingredients

2 cups finely grated carrot (about 4 medium carrots)
2 cups gluten free bean based flour blend, such as Bob’s Red Mill All Purpose Gluten Free Flour or Almond Flour
4 teaspoons gluten free baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon xanthan or guar gum, optional
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup unsweetened gluten & dairy free milk substitute, such as almond
2 large eggs
1/4 cup oil (substitute coconut oil for those who can't have oil)
3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey for those who can't have syrup)
2 teaspoons gluten free vanilla extract

Toppings

8 ounce crushed pineapple, drained
1/3 cup toasted unsweetened coconut mixed with 2 tablespoon toasted pecans
1/2 cup large shredded carrot, sautéed until tender mixed with 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey

Note: If you do not have a fine box grater to shred the carrots, use a food processor or high-powered blender to quickly grind carrots until finely shredded or minced. If you use a juicer, you can also use leftover carrot pulp from juicing for the shredded carrots in this recipe.

Directions

1. Whisk the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Mix the wet ingredients together until blended then add to the dry ingredients. Stir until well blended.

2. Add shredded carrot and stir. Alternatively, if you have used a food processor to grind your carrots, add dry and wet ingredients to food processor and blend until batter is smooth.
3 Cook 2-3 tablespoons of batter per pancake in a preheated lightly oiled pan as you would regular pancakes, flipping pancake over when bubbles are just showing on the surface and the bottom is golden brown.
4. Top pancakes with maple syrup or dress them up with crushed pineapple, toasted coconut and pecan mixture and carrot maple syrup. 

5. Enjoy!
