Carrot Oatmeal Pancake is the perfect breakfast to prepare in the busy mornings. The vibrant color of the carrots in spring, (though available in all seasons) makes it special to start the season. Mostly the carrot cakes are baked every spring for Easter. This pancake is similar to the cake, like a dessert with a soft texture. Preparing with oatmeal makes it more healthy. Believe me or not it tasted so perfect like the regular flour. The dough was sticky, but once cooked it was not oaty.
I have added vanilla extract for flavoring add some spices which goes well with carrot and the pancake will be spiced just like a classic one.

Questions
Can I prepare pancakes without blender?
Yes, absolutely you can. The blender helps the carrot to make a little more fine ad blends well with flour to give a gorgeous color. If you are not blending the color will be little lighter.
What can I use instead of carrots in pancake?
If you don’t like using carrots, use pumpkin puree to make pancakes.
Can I use whole wheat or other flour in this recipe?
Yes, you can any flour you like. Each flour acts differently. The texture, density, liquid ratio varies. Whole wheat flour gives denser pancakes than oatmeal. All-purpose flour will be exactly like oatmeal.
What if, I don’t have oat flour?
Dry roast the oatmeal for few seconds or until they are warm. Do not roast it dark. While roasting the color should not change. Then grind to a fine powder first. Once you have the flour then mix all the ingredients and follow the same steps.
