CARROT CAKE PANCAKES & CREAM CHEESE SYRUP

September 15, 2013

Don’t be fooled; this is I would guess the healthiest thing you’ll ever eat with the word “cake” in the title. If you are looking for a dessert-y breakfast, however, just pour on some Cream Cheese Syrup. Cream Cheese Syrup? I’m sold. However, interestingly enough the pancakes themselves are not too sweet at all. You could skip the cream cheese syrup and do some cool savory breakfast options to dress them up in many ways!

  • You have a beautiful blog! I am going to try adapting this recipe to make it gluten free for my fiance and I, for Easter Breakfast! Thank you for the recipe!

    I have just tried this recipe. Following all instructions, pancakes are mushy on the inside. I’ve used the appropriate amount of ingredients and cooked correctly over heat and amount of time. How do I resolve this??

    I’m thinking this “syrup” would sure make a really nice muffin “topping”. and in my case, another muffin top! hahaha!!! thanks for the yumminess!

    • That’s a great idea! Yummy muffins. Thanks for the comment.

      Love,

  • It looks like a wonderful treat… But I don’t think cream cheese maple syrup topping can be no-fat?? Tell me if I’m wrong because I would eat it morning, noon and night…

    • Absolutely! I think no-fat would work just fine. Enjoy :) Thanks for reading.

      Love,
      Rach
