Feel-Good Oatmeal Blender Carrot Pancakes are a wholesome and delicious breakfast option combining grated carrots and apples blended with oats and warm spices. These nutrient-packed pancakes are easy to make in a high-speed blender, cooked on the stovetop, and perfect for a healthy start to your day or a cozy brunch.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 7 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • ¼ cup milk (unsweetened almond milk recommended)
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
  • ½ tablespoon vanilla paste
  • 1 cup grated carrot (about 1 large carrot)
  • 1 cup grated apple (about 1 large apple)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats (use gluten free if needed)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Blend Wet Ingredients: Combine the eggs, milk, honey or maple syrup, avocado oil or melted butter, vanilla paste, grated carrots, and grated apple in a high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and the carrots and apples are fully pureed.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients and Blend: Add the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the blender with the wet mixture. Blend again until you have a smooth batter and the oats are thoroughly broken down. If you don’t have a high-speed blender, blend the oats alone first until they reach a flour-like texture, combine with dry ingredients in a bowl, then blend the wet ingredients separately and mix all together.
  3. Heat Skillet and Prepare for Cooking: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little extra oil or butter to prevent sticking. Allow the oil to warm up before cooking the pancakes.
  4. Cook Pancakes: Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to portion out the batter onto the skillet. Cook each pancake for about 3 minutes per side until bubbles form on the surface and the edges are set. Add more oil as needed during cooking to keep pancakes from sticking.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite pancake toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or nuts.
  6. Store Leftovers: Allow any leftover pancakes to cool completely. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for best freshness.

Notes

  • If you lack a high-speed blender, blend oats separately first to avoid over-taxing your appliance.
  • Use gluten-free rolled oats to make this recipe gluten-free if needed.
  • Feel free to substitute milk with any plant-based milk of your choice.
  • Extra oil or butter should be added to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking.
  • These pancakes can be topped with a variety of toppings like nut butter, yogurt, or fresh fruits to add more flavor and nutrition.
  • Make sure to grate carrot and apple finely to ensure smooth blending and batter consistency.
