Oh hey there! Did u miss me?! Let’s be realistic, of course you did. I’ve been slightly MIA lately and a terrible Blogger. This is based upon a few reasons. Let’s review.
1. I haven’t cooked anything worth talking about lately. My diet has consisted of pounds of broccoli and insanely good grass fed beef burgers. Delicious but boring to most taste buds.
2. I haven’t gone out much therefore I have no stories to give you.
3. All I do is CrossFit. While I think my wods are worth talking about because I’m usually almost in tears while trying to chase down my training partner Jason, most people really don’t give a sh*t.
But I’m back, and I’m ready to salivate your taste buds with stories from my boring life and thoughts from my dirty mind. That didn’t really make sense. Anywho, speaking of a dirty mind, let’s talk about guy’s butts. I mean, I workout and hang out with some pretty fantastic looking guys, and the mind wanders at times. Before CrossFit, I never even thought twice about a guys ass. They always seemed pretty boring to me. And honestly, kind of useless. But then I began the CrossFitting lifestyle and noticed that guys had butts you could bounce a penny off of, maybe even a quarter….and that just cannot go unnoticed.
So the other day, I was checking out my friend Tom and noticed how fantastic his butt looked. I asked him where his shorts were from and he told me they are the fight shorts his company Renegade Fitness made. They’re super legit. I’m saying definitely even better than Lulu. If you’re a CrossFitter or just want to look like one, these shorts are fantastic. Not only do they stretch so when you’re squatting like a pro below parallel, you don’t get the crotch tear, but your butt will look like a taut ham. What does that look like? Effin’ good. Check them out and then I’ll check you out. And no, this is not a cross-promotion because Tom is not promoting my blog. Nor is he making shorts my ass look fantastic in. But let’s be realistic here, there is no hope for my ass looking better. That would take a team of plastic surgeons and miracles. I’ll stick with squats for now. But at least I can day dream about dudes butts in these shorts. I may even be thinking about yours….
Creepy.
I made pancakes today!!! I didn’t think of this recipe by myself. Fail Juli. Fail.
This recipe is modified by Eat the Cookie. She’s legit. Knows her sh*t.
Paleo Carrot Cake Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup carrots, shredded
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- 1/2 cup canned coconut milk-full fat-duh.
- 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- lots of: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg
- handful of raisins
- 1 tablespoon coconut butter per 3 pancakes
- lots of maple syrup, obviously!
Instructions
- Mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl: almond meal, coconut flour, baking soda and powder, and spice together.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients: carrots, eggs, coconut milk, coconut oil, and raisins. Mix thoroughly.
- Heat a large skillet or pancake griddle up under medium-high heat and use coconut oil to grease the surface. I used a coconut oil spray that isn’t totally paleo but it’s easy and I like easy. So suck it.
- Pour batter into small pancakes onto hot griddle. Cook on both sides for 3 or so minutes.
- Top pancakes off with coconut butter and maple syrup. Then eat them. I would honestly pair the pancakes with a breakfast sausage. Meals without meat are stupid.

Made these tonight. Had a bunch of carrots and didn’t know what to do with them. I love your Ingredient List!! The boys loved them!! They not only helped shred the carrots but were loving eating them up. My 4 year old said “this is the best dinner ever” I paired it with some quick pork chops cooked with onions and tomatoes.
Once again, thank you!! You are amazing!!!
If I omitted the raisins and the maple syrup, do you think these would still be tasty but allowed on the 21 DSD?
I LOVE pancakes…
My girls loved them n they don’t like paleo pancakes. I topped them w sliced apples, coconut flakes n raisins.
I love carrots! Now I REALLY love carrots! YUM.
I’m new to your site and I have to say that this first recipe I tried is a keeper. Paired with some thick cut bacon and an egg and WHAM, winner winner paleo dinner.
Keep up the good work. I have a huge sweet tooth and your recipes might just keep me away from indulging on processed sweets over the weekend.
These pancakes were delicious! I heartily recommend serving them with sliced banana on top. Love love love.
These are perfect for using up that bag of carrots in my fridge. I love your recipes and the fact that they are heavy on the veggies and lighter on the nut flours. I can’t tolerate gluten but too much nut flour makes my jeans shrink 🙂 I tried your chocolate zucchini bread last night … very good …. and your plantain biscuits today …. amazing!! Next on the menu … carrot cake pancakes or … samosa donuts ohh… those look like they are to die for!!!
Do you think this would work as muffins?
i’m not sure actually…sorry!!
Yum! Finally a pancake recipe that I can cook again and again. I have a question though, do you think the batter would keep for a couple days? My husband and I are going on a camping trip and thought about making enough batter for 4-5 days. What are your thoughts?
OH SO Yummy!!! I finally made these this morning and they are fabulous! They are so incredibly filling! Wow! Two cakes and you are done, but raring to go!!! What are your thoughts on splitting the recipe? All works fine, but the three eggs. Should I go one or two when I split? I don’t want to have a carrot omlette, but also don’t want to change the wonderful texture. Thanks again for all your kitchen guidance and good eatin’!!!!!
