Pancakes with apples & carrots – what a yummy idea! Pancakes are filling and quick to prepare and that makes them the ideal breakfast dish. And the best part about them is, you can make them sweet or savory with choice of ingredients and topping. The original recipe for these pancakes had a maple cream cheese topping, but I tried them without it and they were gorgeous. You can even use simple maple syrup as topping if you like.
