4 servings

  • 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 cup whole buttermilk
  • 0.25 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.75 cup finely grated carrot
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for griddle
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons golden raisins
  • 3 tablespoons toasted chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 3 tablespoons toasted unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped candied ginger

Instructions

  • Gather all ingredients.
  • Prepare the Pancakes: Whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl until combined.
  • Add buttermilk, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla; stir until just combined. Stir in carrots and melted butter until just combined. Set aside.
  • Prepare the Frosting: In a medium bowl, whisk together cream cheese, milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
  • Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, stir together raisins, pecans, coconut, and ginger, if desired. Set aside.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium. Grease skillet or griddle with butter.
  • Working in batches, scoop 1/4 cup batter per pancake into the skillet, being sure not to overcrowd skillet. Cook until bubbles begin to form on surface of pancakes and edges look dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip, and cook until fluffy and slightly firm, about 1 minute. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter and adjusting heat as needed.
  • Divide pancakes evenly among 4 plates. Drizzle Pancakes evenly with Frosting, and sprinkle evenly with Topping.
