Carrot And Butternut Squash Pancakes
"Oh, these carrot and butternut squash pancakes are my absolute top favourite treat, they taste beyond and above any pancake you've ever had, not to mention the texture, is so great! These carrot, apple and butternut squash pancakes are not the regular pancakes you'd think of. Fluffy, healthy carrot and butternut squash pancakes made with delicious spices. These pancakes are naturally sweetened and packed with yummy mix-ins like fresh ginger, walnuts and chia seeds. Top with yoghurt and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey for a wonderfully cosy breakfast! "
