I don't know about you, but I have a picky almost 3 year old here at my house. He runs at the sight of anything "veggie" among other things. So this mommy has to be creative when sneaking in those good for you foods, cause with this child it's his foods or starve himself, there is no in-between!
After a long day at work I almost gave in and went to make something fast (ex: hotdog or macaroni) but I thought, "well why not try scrambled eggs with veggies again, maybe he'll like it this time. If not I can always make pancakes and I know he'll eat that." DING! Veggies in the pancakes too!
These pancakes turned out so good. Even the skeptical people in the house that laugh at all my attempts to feed my son healthy food and being turned down each time thought these were great and proceeded to eat 3 of them (without syrup I might add).
Give these pancakes a try. They stay true to the classic pancake fluffiness and have a yummy suggestion of being a close cousin of the carrot cake family.
