Carrot Cake Pancakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Carrot Cake Pancakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

This just screams Easter breakfast! These Carrot Cake Pancakes with Cream Cheese Frosting are practically begging to be made. You're in luck, because this dish is pretty easy and tastes amazing! We used our Classic Pancake Mix and jazzed it up with all of your favorite carrot cake spices and flavors and topped it with a yummy cream cheese frosting.

The key to making these carrot cake pancakes is grating the carrots extra finely. A microplane zester will give you the perfect texture. If the pieces are too big, they won't cook quick enough. A zester makes the carrots just the right size so that they cook evenly and keep the pancake perfectly moist!

If you don't want to start out your day with cream cheese frosting (why wouldn't you!?), you can top your pancakes with maple syrup! If you're willing to try it though, the cream cheese frosting really takes this dish to the next level.
