Buttermilk Carrot Pancakes

in Breakfast/Brunch, Pancakes

Some mornings, I’m up early at the crack of dawn, full of energy and motivated to tackle as much on my to-do list of the day as possible. But to be honest, I sometimes crave for lazy days where I roll out of bed so late and there’s breakfast waiting for me.

Or someone magically appears and work on my to-do list. Ha!

Today, with the to-do list pushed aside (happily!), I’m paying a close attention to a stack of buttermilk carrot pancakes. For breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner, I’d be devouring this to forget about the pile of dirty laundry.

There’s always something more urgent than dirty laundry.

In fact, I’m about to curl back into the bed after this! Happy TGIF!!!

Folding laundry and ironing is what I hate to do. I love when breakfast waits for me which is often the weekends. Not that I am curled up in bed.

While my husband makes breakfast on Saturdays I cuddle up with the daughter. Now, this healthy pancake recipe needs to go to him. I have used carrots in savory pancakes but not sure why I haven’t used them in sweet pancakes. Love the bursts of flavors in here, Kiran.

Lail — thanks and hope you get to enjoy this pancakes soon 🙂

Living in India has its own benefits, having a maid to do most of your work is one 😛
The buttermilk carrot pancakes sound delicious and using wheat flour makes them healthy too.
