Introduction

For the "Cooking on the Road" segment of the March Break camps the Boys and Girls Club I co-op at ran this week, I had the privilege of coming up with a recipe that would fit their theme of "Food Guide Eating", specifically increasing the fruits and veggies the kids ate in the lower-income area we were working in. These sweet, fluffy and substantial pancakes were a total hit - no doubt in part to the fact that they taste like warm carrot cake!

Ingredients

    1 ½ cups flour
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    1 ½ tbsp baking powder
    1 ½ tsp cinnamon
    ¼ tsp allspice
    ¼ tsp salt
    2 eggs, lightly beaten
    ¼ cup brown sugar
    2 cups low-fat, plain soy milk
    2 tsp vanilla
    2 large carrots, finely grated
    1 large apple, finely grated

Directions

Preheat a griddle pan, grease with PAM.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, milk and vanilla.
Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, then add carrots and apples.
Mix just until moistened - a few lumps are okay.
Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto the greased griddle.
Flip when bubbles appear on the top of the pancakes, finish cooking on the other side.
