  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 4 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil
  • Maple cream cheese glaze
  • Butter
  • Maple syrup
  • Chopped toasted pecans

Instructions

  1. Blend the batter by placing oats, milk, applesauce, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth, about 30–60 seconds.
  2. Stir in shredded carrots and let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
  3. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Grease with butter or oil.
  4. Pour about ⅓ cup of the batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown.
  5. To make the maple cream cheese glaze, combine cream cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla in a small bowl. Mix with a spatula, then whisk until smooth.
  6. Serve the pancakes warm with toppings like maple cream cheese glaze, butter and maple syrup, and/or chopped toasted pecans.
