Carrot Cake Pancakes

Whenever Kaden asks for pancakes for dinner, this is what he gets...lucky kid :-)  I got the recipe from 5dollardinners.com.

Pancakes
2 c whole wheat flour
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 - 1 3/4 c milk (or more, depending on how thick you like your pancakes)
1 egg
1/4 c applesauce
2 tbs maple syrup
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 1/4 c grated carrots
1/2 - 3/4 c raisins
1/4 c chopped walnuts
Syrup
1/4 c cream cheese
1/4 c maple syrup
cinnamon

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.  Whisk in the milk, egg, applesauce, syrup, and butter.  Fold in the grated carrots, raisins, and nuts.  Cook pancakes on hot, greased griddle.  Repeat until all batter is used.  To make the syrup, whisk together the syrup and cream cheese.  Warm in the microwave.  Add in several dashes of cinnamon to taste.  Pour over hot pancakes.

We eat them by themselves, but I'm sure they'd be good with eggs, fruit, or whatever else too.
