Carrot Cake Pancake Stack
If you are a carrot cake fan, these will suit you well for a bit of a special weekend breakfast. Happy Pancake Day!
When breakfast requires cake....this is the way to go! You can tell yourself you are in fact eating breakfast, all the while, secretly knowing you are eating cake. Sort of. If you wanted to get a bit decadent, you could skip the ricotta part of this topping and go full on cream cheese...the recipe would be doubly delicious. Gotta love cake for breakfast, no matter how you manage to convince yourself it's ok!
We do have LOADS of pancake and waffle ideas on here, so if this isn't the one for you, try any or all of these:
Scallion (Spring Onion) Pancakes
Champagne Pancakes with Roasted Cinnamon Strawberries
Lemon & Ricotta Baked Pancakes
