    I used zucchini instead of carrots, omitted the raisins, and used skim milk instead of water, and the kids loved them! Made a big batch and froze the rest for quick breakfasts during the week. - 4/17/10

    I don't mean to nit-pick, but I came across this recipe from a healthy pancake link, but with 400+mg of sodium per serving, what makes these healthy? - 5/12/11

    I switched out the brown sugar for 1/4 c. Splenda brown sugar. I also left the raisins out to lower the carbs, it's much too high for a diabetic. I thought that the high sodium might be from the pancake mix itself, so I make mine from one cup whole wheat flour and one cup of water, plus one egg. - 4/7/14

    I made this for breakfast this morning. It was a nice way to get some veggies in! I sprinkled cinnamon/sugar on top instead of syrup. - 7/3/08

    These were very tasty and i really wanted more but the sugar content of one serving (pancakes + syrup) was beyond my limit !!! This much sugar really sets off my carb cravings! Won't do this one again. - 4/7/14

    It would help if it stated how many pancakes is considered a serving. The photo shows a huge stack, which I assume is not a serving. 43g of carbs seems a bit high. I will probably stick to the Cottage Cheese Oatmeal Pancakes...... - 4/7/14

    Sounds like it would be a wonderful treat except for the sugar. Not sure a sub would work for this but I am going to give it a try. - 3/29/19

    Made these this morning and they turned out pretty good. I make my own pancake mix to lower calories using whole wheat flour and don't use syrup, and sprinkle cinnamon. Nice change. - 3/29/18

    I'm not a fan of recipes that start with using a mix. Making pancakes from scratch is very easy. There is no need to use a mix. To make pancakes healthier, I use a mixture of whole grain, seed & nut flours. I make mine without the added sugar since carrots & raisins are already sweet. - 5/1/17

    I used butternut squash instead of carrots, added protein powder and wheat flour instead of box pancake mix. It turned out wonderfully. - 4/6/17

    I guess I'm nit-picking as well, but why a picture of a stack of six pancakes on a website for the willpower challenged? - 4/4/17

    One pancake is unrealistic as a serving. These do not taste good, not worth the effort. - 3/29/16

    It says 8 servings per recipe, but not how many pancakes per serving. If it's only 1 pancake, that's an awfully high calorie/sodium/carb count. Would like to try it, but not willing to waste ingredients if it's outside of my "calorie hut". - 3/29/16

    this dish was wondeful. when i made it i just used a large mixing spoon which is less than 1/4 and was able to make about 12-14. would definitely make again!

    Made today with fiber 1 pancake mix to get in a little more fiber, still takes great. Yumm!

    Adding an extra half cup of sugar to this recipe is an extra tablespoon of sugar for each pancake! Certainly not a healthy addition!

    I've had these all of my life. Mom used to make pancakes & just grate a couple of raw carrots directly into the pancake mix without all the other ingredients though just the pancake mix & they're so delicious. They have a little bit of a crunch & extra sweetness from the carrot. - 4/7/14
