Yummy Easter Rabbit Carrot Pancakes!

I saw this yummy looking carrot pancake recipe online and had to take it one step further to make bunny carrot Easter pancakes this morning for me and Shayla! They are REALLY good! I changed the recipe slightly with using all whole wheat flour and fake buttermilk (just add 3/4 teaspoon lemon juice to regular milk and let sit for 10 minutes). I think I found a new holiday tradition recipe for the files!!!

Carrot Pancakes (Makes 20-25 Pancakes)

1 1/4 Cup Flour
2 Tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/4 Tsp Salt

3 Tbsp Brown Sugar
3/4 Cup Buttermilk
1 Tbsp Canola or Vegetable Oil
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Large Eggs, whisked
1 1/2 Cups Carrots, shredded fine (about 3 carrots) - you can grate them, chop these in food processor or I used my Vitamix
Butter or Oil for cooking

1. Place the first 5 ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine.
2. In another bowl, place sugar, buttermilk, oil, vanilla, carrot and eggs and mix.
3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with butter or oil.
5. Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until golden.
6. Serve with honey or maple syrup.
