👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Blend the base: Add all ingredients except seeds, almonds, and cranberries into a high-speed blender.

• Tip for picky eaters: Add the carrots, seeds, and almonds now and blend until smooth—no bits or textures to give you away!

2. Blend until smooth: The batter should be creamy and pourable. Add a splash of almond milk if it feels too thick.

3. Add crunch (optional): Fold in chopped pumpkin seeds, almonds, and cranberries if you didn’t blend them in earlier.

4. Cook the pancakes: Pour batter into circles on a preheated, lightly greased nonstick skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

5. Serve and enjoy: Stack, drizzle with maple syrup, and top with fruit, coconut yogurt, or nut butter for a breakfast that feels like a treat!
