Carrot Cake Pancakes with Maple Cream Cheese Glaze

Pancakes are really really hard not to love.  As a very picky child they were one of the few foods I loved to eat.  Once I grew older and my tastes more sophisticated I began to prefer savoury breakfast foods over sweet. Though I may rarely make them or eat them anymore, I still have love for those little fluffy cakes of goodness.  Now I eat them like an adult.  What does this entail? Well, these ones I made for dinner and enjoyed with a glass of wine while watching my newest fascination, American Horror Story.  Okay, maybe not so adult-like and those are three things that definitely should not go together in any way, shape or form.  However, having successfully tested these carrot cake pancakes I can guarantee there will be a lot more of that taking place in this apartment in the coming months.

This is a recipe my mom always makes and has been a favourite cake of mine since I was a little girl (mostly because of the icing).  I love recipes that have a ton of extra writing and notes on them, as well as little spills. That’s when you know a recipe has really been used, and I can tell you for sure that this one has!
