Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 1 medium apple, grated (juice removed)
  • 2 large carrots, grated
  • 1 tbsp raw cacao powder
  • 1 heaping tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla powder
  • 3 tsp coconut sugar

For Cooking

  • 4–5 tsp butter or coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables and Fruit: Begin by grating the medium apple, making sure to remove its juice to avoid excess moisture. Grate the two large carrots as well. Set aside these grated ingredients for mixing.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, crack and whisk the 6 eggs until smooth. Add the grated apple and carrots to the eggs. Then, incorporate the raw cacao powder, cinnamon powder, vanilla powder, and coconut sugar. Stir everything together until you have a consistent batter, ensuring the spices and sweetness are evenly distributed.
  3. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Add 4-5 teaspoons of butter or coconut oil to the pan. Allow the fat to melt and coat the surface evenly, which will help prevent sticking and add flavor to the pancakes.
  4. Cook the Pancakes: Pour or scoop portions of the batter onto the hot pan to form pancakes of your desired size. Cook each pancake for about 3-4 minutes on the first side until the edges start to set and bubbles form on the surface. Then gently flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm if making multiple batches. Serve immediately with your choice of toppings like honey, maple syrup, or fresh fruit to enhance the natural flavors.

Notes

  • Removing apple juice prevents the batter from becoming too runny, ensuring better pancake texture.
  • You can substitute coconut sugar with brown sugar or maple syrup if preferred.
  • Butter or coconut oil both work well; coconut oil adds a subtle tropical flavor and is suitable for dairy-free diets.
  • Cook pancakes on medium heat to ensure they are cooked thoroughly without burning.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and rich in protein from the eggs.
