Pinch Ground ginger and nutmeg [1]
Pinch Salt
1/2 tsp Baking powder
2 Egg whites
1 cup Old fashioned oats (gluten free if sensitive)
1/2 cup Water
2-4 Packets of stevia, (or sweetener of choice to taste)

Method


The estimated total time to make this recipe is 15-20 minutes.

Put all of the ingredients in a blender, (except for 1/4 cup grated carrots and the optional add-ins), and blend until smooth! Stir in the additional grated carrots and optional add-ins (if desired).

Meanwhile, heat a nonstick griddle (or large nonstick skillet) coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto griddle. Turn pancakes over when tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked.

To make the cream cheese frosting, whisk together the softened cream cheese, syrup, cinnamon and stevia in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over pancakes while warm if desired! Enjoy!
