  • 3/4 c. lowfat ( 1%) buttermilk
  • 1 T. canola oil

Honey Cinnamon Butter (optional) ( add 1 point)

Combine flour with next seven ingredients ( through ginger) in a large bowl.
Combine the brown sugar and next 4 ingredients ( through egg beaters). Add sugar mixture to flour mixture and stir until just moistned. Fold in carrots.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle coated with cooking spray. Spoon 4 ( 1/4 cupfuls) of batter onto the pan. Spread with spatula. Mixture will be very thick. Cool for 2 minutes or until edges look cooked. Carefully turn and cook 1 minute longer or until bottoms are lightly browned. Repeat with remaining batter.
For butter, combine butter with honey and cinnamon in a small bowl. Serve with pancakes.
