Cook for about 2 minutes or until light golden brown. Flip over and cook for another minute or until light golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.

Tips

This is a fun recipe to make with kids. Little chefs can help mix up the pancake batter. Older kids can help cook the pancakes.
Get creative with this recipe and swap out the grated carrot for grated zucchini instead. Squeeze out the water with your hands before adding to the egg mixture.
Make now and enjoy later. Layer pancakes between wax or parchment paper and freeze for up to 2 weeks.
Warm through in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
For a kick of flavour, add pepper to taste and serve with low-fat sour cream or lower fat plain yogurt.
Try using less of the ingredients that are high in added sodium, sugars or saturated fat. Adding salt or sugars directly to your recipe? Remember, a little goes a long way.
