Light Carroty Pancakes
"I modified a zucchini pancake recipe to come up with these deliciously nourishing pancakes that are somewhat reminiscent of carrot cake, but a little more healthy. My father found it hard to believe that they contained no butter or oils, and reduced fat milk can also be used if you wish."

I am a high school student and I enjoy cooking and baking immensely from time to time, when I'm not busy with school. I also like to tap dance and I'm interested in Astrology, Riverdance, vampires, and Ilia Kulik (a Russian figure skater).
