Carrot and Oats Pancake

Oats are always a healthier and more filling option than regular white flour, so combining both to make pancake strikes a better balance than using only the latter.

Carrot and Oats Pancake is a kid-friendly and delicious way of sneaking in vegetables into their breakfast or lunchbox. You can grate the carrots or otherwise cut up into small chunks and blend with the milk first before adding the other ingredients.
