Author Notes
I generally cook from inspiration rather than recipes and I came up with this recipe because I crave carrot cake but don't always have the time to make them or want the extra calories. Enjoy! —karen81

Directions

Combine eggs, buttermilk, and applesauce; whisk to combine, then add carrots, raisins, walnuts and coconut.

Next add flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt and spices; whisk until just combined.
-
Cooking temperature should be just under medium slightly lower than typical pancakes to prevent burning.
-
Serve pancakes stacked with whipped cream cheese between each pancake as well as on top and maple syrup. No mesurements here - to each his/her own. My personal opinion is more is better.
