Carrots are the perfect ingredient for a different and healthy dessert. You can use them in cakes, sponge cakes, biscuits, or, as this recipe suggests, in some quick pancakes for breakfast. The best thing is, when incorporating raw carrots into pancakes, you will notice the difference of the thin crispy strips compared to the spongy dough.  These carrot pancakes contain either almond or oat flour making them gluten-free.  In this recipe, we have recommended a cream cheese-based topping. However, these carrot pancakes work well with a simple spoonful of greek yogurt and some dried fruit; or just by themselves, either way, they are delicious!
