Carrot Pancake

I always try to make meals as "healthy" as possible for my 1 and a half year old daughter. So, for breakfasts I've played around with ideas for pancakes. I decided to be adventurous and add carrots. Your first reaction might be "gross!" But it actually tastes rather good. My daughter loves them and eats them up.
