HOW TO MAKE KETO CARROT CAKE PANCAKES

1. Start off by whisking together eggs, almond milk, apple cider vinegar and vanilla extract until smooth.

3. Fold in carrots, nuts, coconut and raisins if using.
4. If the batter appears too thick, add a splash of almond milk. If too thin, add a bit more flour. Allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes.

7. Serve with some low carb syrup, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, melted butter / ghee or coconut whipped cream, if desired.

CAN I MAKE THESE KETO CARROT CAKE PANCAKES AHEAD OF TIME?

Yes. The great thing about pancakes is that you can make them ahead and heat them up during the week.

Just place the pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze for 30-40 minutes or until set. Remove pan from freezer and stack them in a resealable zip top bag.
