It’s finally Spring!! This winter seemed to last forever, but now it is time to enjoy longer days of sunshine and warm weather! Whenever spring rolls around I like to make fun, vibrant, springtime dishes, like these Carrot Cake Pancakes!
These carrot cake pancakes are the perfect treat to add to your morning meal! They are gluten-free and can easily be made vegan by using flax egg instead of egg. I like to make a large batch and store them in the fridge for an easy go-to breakfast. I simply warm up the pancakes, top them with coconut yogurt and maple syrup, and enjoy a lovely, effortless breakfast!

- Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour: I use Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free 1:1 Baking Flour

- Non-Dairy Milk: I use Almond Milk, but you can use any dairy or non-dairy milk you like.
- Coconut Oil: Use coconut oil or you can use melted butter

Anyone know if these can be made ahead of time like the night before? Will they be good in the morning if I warm them up?
Hi Pashima! You certainly can. Warm them in the microwave or toaster oven.
