Brunch Me So Hard

Let’s talk about Sunday gatherings, specifically brunch! Why is brunch so popular? Brunch’s mid-morning schedule allows you to be socially flexible. Both early risers and night owls can enjoy the event. Brunch is a terrific option for get-togethers with friends and family because it fits well into schedules.

Brunch brims with a variety of flavors and can be considered a food journey in itself with menus featuring innovative renditions of classic dishes, seasonal products, and international inspirations. The culinary freedom of brunch is one of the reasons we love to cater on Sundays.

Carrot Cake Oatmeal Pancakes

1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats

1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 egg, beaten

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp ginger

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

Butter or oil for the griddle

1/2 cup grated carrots ***make it Rasberrys-like by subbing sweet potato, parsnip or strained apple***

Maple syrup, butter, extra carrots and chopped nuts for topping (optional)

Grind oats in a blender for a few seconds, until they have a flour-like texture. Combine the oats, milk and egg; let sit for 10 minutes. Stir in baking powder, spices and vanilla.

Heat a griddle or skillet over medium. Spray with oil or melt a pat of butter. For each pancake, drop and spread a scant 1/4 cup of batter into a 4-inch round. Sprinkle evenly with about 1 1/2 Tbsp grated carrots.

Cook pancakes, three at a time, until small bubbles form and pop on the top. Flip, and cook 1 to 2 minutes more until golden on the other side. Serve warm with desired toppings. Makes 2 servings.
