Great pancake recipe! I did alter it a bit. I used 1/4 t. nutmeg, 1/4 c. brown sugar, and added 1/4 c. raisins. Next time I'm going to lessen the amount of ginger to 1/8 t. We didn't use the spread either, just some maple syrup and powdered sugar. My kids loved it! (I got 9 pancakes from this recipe)

I had forgotten how naturally sweet carrots are-I don't think they really need any additional sugar! But I added a small amt of Splenda into mine & now regret it & will probably just omit it next time. I will also downgrade on the cinn (used nutmeg for the ginger) so that the flavors blend bttter. I used whole wheat flour & sorry, I didn't have a chance to make the spread; just syrup-very yummy. Thick, too-make sure these are cooked all the way through!
