Instructions

  • Select a 12-ounce microwave-safe tall coffee mug to make sure the batter won't overflow when baking.
  • In the microwave-safe mug, whisk the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon.
  • Stir in liquid ingredients: almond milk, apple sauce, and vanilla extract. Combine until light and runny with no lumps.
  • Fold in shredded carrots, chopped nuts, and dried raisins. Stir to combine.
  • Microwave at 900W for 90 seconds in the center of the microwave. If you are not sure what the power of your microwave is, start with 60 seconds and repeat microwaving in 10-second bursts until most and set in the center.
  • Cool it down for a few seconds, then serves it with a dollop of yogurt and extra chopped nuts or carrots on the top.

Notes

Note 1: All-purpose gluten-free flour with added gums works as a 1:1 ratio to replace wheat flour. However, the pancake will be much denser and chewy with gluten-free flour.
The recipe doesn't work with almond flour or coconut flour.
