WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

• In a bowl, combine flour, Essentials powder, spices, baking powder and baking soda. Whisk in the almond milk, almond butter, lemon juice and maple syrup. Then add in the grated carrots and mix well.
• Heat up a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and grease it lightly with some of the coconut oil.

To make the almond caramel:

• Heat up the maple syrup in a small pot over low heat. When it starts to boil gently, take it off the heat and stir in the almond butter with a pinch of salt.
• Return the pan on the heat and simmer, stirring the caramel for another minute until thickened. Serves as a pancake topping.
