1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 egg, beaten
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
Butter or oil for the griddle
1/2 cup grated carrots ***make it Rasberrys-like by subbing sweet potato, parsnip or strained apple***
Maple syrup, butter, extra carrots and chopped nuts for topping (optional)
Grind oats in a blender for a few seconds, until they have a flour-like texture. Combine the oats, milk and egg; let sit for 10 minutes. Stir in baking powder, spices and vanilla.
Heat a griddle or skillet over medium. Spray with oil or melt a pat of butter. For each pancake, drop and spread a scant 1/4 cup of batter into a 4-inch round. Sprinkle evenly with about 1 1/2 Tbsp grated carrots.
Cook pancakes, three at a time, until small bubbles form and pop on the top. Flip, and cook 1 to 2 minutes more until golden on the other side. Serve warm with desired toppings. Makes 2 servings.
