Healthy Birthday Carrot Pancakes

February 27, 2015 by Juli 14 Comments

Ever since I was a little girl my favorite cake in the world was my Mum’s Carrot Cake. So it is no surprise that when I was asked what kind of cake I wanted for my Birthday my answer has always been the same: Carrot Cake! – obviously!

The evening before my Birthday my Mum would bake a Carrot Cake and decorate it with the number of marzipan mice matching my new age. Over the years I lost the interest in the mice as they only distracted from the wonderful flavours of the cake. With me moving out and growing older and older this tradition died out.

Fast forward a few years I am still nostalgic when it comes to this kind of cake. And it’s still my absolute favorite! I’ve tried many variations like muffins and breads and of course pancakes.  And as it’s my Birthday week I thought it might on the one hand be a nice breakfast for me today and on the other hand it would be the perfect occasion to share my recipe with you today!

    Oh my word these look amazing! Have you tried it with ground almonds instead of hazelnuts? I’m pretty sure it would work the same…??

      Thank you Jen <3 I haven't tried this recipe with anything but hazelnuts but I am absolutely sure you can just swap one for the other. I'll try it myself next time πŸ™‚
