Good, light, fun carrot cake-tasting pancakes made with Greek yogurt. Try 2% Fage® Greek yogurt as topping. Doesn't go well with maple syrup, yogurt is better.

Ingredients

1 cup old-fashioned oats
½ cup Greek yogurt
2 eggs
2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
¼ cup skim milk, or more as needed
¼ cup vanilla protein powder (Optional)
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 pinch ground ginger
1 carrot, peeled and grated
cooking spray

Directions

Combine oats, yogurt, eggs, chopped carrots, milk, protein powder, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and ginger in a blender. Blend until batter is smooth. Fold in grated carrots.
Heat a griddle over medium-high heat; spray with cooking spray. Scoop batter onto the griddle using a 1/4 measuring cup, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

Cook's Notes:

Increase sugar to 1/4 to 1/2 cup for sweeter (less healthy) pancakes. Use vanilla Greek yogurt if preferred.

Try sprinkling raisins on top while cooking the first side.
