  • Prep the Carrots:
    • Peel and grate the carrots. You’ll need about 1 to 1.5 cups of grated carrots, depending on how many carrots you use.
    • Microwave the grated carrots for 3 minutes on medium, or until they’re soft and partially cooked. Set aside.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger (if using).
  • Mix Wet Ingredients:
    • In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  • Combine Wet and Dry:
    • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until almost combined, leaving a few lumps is okay.
  • Add Carrots and Mix-ins:
    • Gently fold in the grated carrots and any optional raisins or walnuts. Stir until just combined—be careful not to overmix!
  • Cook the Pancakes:
    • Heat a little butter or oil in a skillet over medium/low heat.
    • Use a heaping tablespoon or ice cream scoop to portion the batter onto the skillet.
    • Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
    • Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
  • Serve:
    • Serve warm with butter, syrup, or powdered sugar—whatever you like!
