Make It Now Cooking Directions

These directions are for cooking this recipe to serve immediately and NOT to freeze for later.

1. To make the spread: In a mixing bowl, stir together the cream cheese, maple syrup, and cinnamon #1 until blended and smooth. Set aside.
2. Place the carrot in a small microwaveable bowl. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave on high power for 1 minute or just until tender.
3. Set aside to cool.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon #2, allspice, salt, and walnuts until blended.
5. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the milk, brown sugar, eggs, and applesauce and whisk the ingredients together until blended.
6. Add the cooled carrot and stir just until blended. If batter is too thick, additional milk can be added a tablespoon at a time.
7. Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray.
8. Ladle 1/4 cup batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip with spatula and cook for 1 minute longer, or until cooked through and golden brown.
9. To serve, spoon a rounded teaspoon of the maple cream cheese spread on each pancake and drizzle with additional maple syrup, if desired.
