01
Step 1
Start by pulsing the walnuts in a food processor or blender until they’re finely chopped, then dump them into a large bowl. Add the oat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cream of tartar, and a pinch of salt, and give everything a good whisk to combine.

Step 2
Next, puree the carrots in the food processor until smooth and pour them into a separate bowl. Mix in the orange juice, water, egg, and walnut oil until the mixture is nice and smooth. Pour this wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir everything together until you get a thick, hearty batter. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken up.

Step 3
Heat a little canola oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, tilting the pan so the oil coats the surface evenly. Give the batter a quick stir before you start cooking.

Step 4
Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to scoop out the batter, but don’t fill it all the way—smaller pancakes cook more evenly. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the skillet and cook until the edges look dry and the bottom is golden, about 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until browned, another 3 to 5 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
