Happy Saturday friends!!!! I just made the most amazing pancakes for my hubby. He is a carrot cake lover so I made pancakes that tasted just like the actual cake. Here is the recipe if anyone wants to try them!!! I highly recommend it!!!
Sorry about the bad picture!!!

You need:
2 cups pancake mix

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

2 eggs

1 cup milk

1 cup finely shredded carrots



CINNAMON SYRUP:

1 cup maple syrup

2 tablespoons butter

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 carton (4 ounces) whipped cream cheese

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. In a small bowl, beat eggs and milk; stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Stir in carrots.

Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a greased hot griddle. Turn pancakes when bubbles form on top; cook until second side is golden brown.

For syrup, in a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, butter and cinnamon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 2 minutes. Serve pancakes with cream cheese and syrup; sprinkle with nuts. Yield: 1 dozen (1 cup syrup).
