Show some bunny you love them with these totally delicious Plant Based Carrot Cake Pancakes. 🥞

It's ideal to get a healthy helping of vitamin C packed carrot in the form of a pancake to start off a day of chocolate mania. #balance 💜⁠
Although these can be a lovely Easter treat we love using veggies in our pancakes on the regular as another way to boost our plant intake. Carrots are rich in beta carotene which your body turns into Vitamin A which helps keep your eyes healthy and supports your immune system. Enjoy!
