Then, use a medium cheese grater to grate your carrot.
Measure shredded carrot, you’ll want about 1/2 cup.

Then, in a large bowl, whisk together 2 eggs.
Add applesauce, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract and mix together.
Transfer dry ingredients into wet and mix together.
Finally, add in melted coconut oil and mix together again.
If you have the time let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavours to incorporate.
Batter will be quite thick, if you want your batter a little thinner add a little bit more milk.

Spray with coconut oil or whatever cooking spray you prefer.
Use a 1/3 cup scooper to scoop batter onto skillet.
Cook each side for around 3 minutes or until golden brown.
