Ingrdients

½ cup white spelt flour
4 tbs oats
1 tsp cinnamon or mixed spice
¾ tsp baking powder
pinch salt
1 smallish carrot finely grated (or larger carrot for a less fluffy pancake)
½ tsp vanilla extract
2 tbs maple syrup
1/3 – 1/2 cup orange juice
1tbs melted coconut butter
Directions
Mix coconut butter, orange juice and vanilla in a bowl and heat in microwave to melt the coconut butter into the mixture. Combine dry ingredients in a separate small bowl then add the wet and mix. Add finely grated carrot last and lightly mix through. Spoon dollops on a lightly oiled hot frying pan and fry till golden for a few minutes each side.
Serve with soy yoghurt and walnuts with a dusting of extra cinnamon as desired.
