Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450ºF.Wash and dry all produce.Remove cream cheese and 2 tbsp butter from the fridge and set aside in a warm place to soften at room temperature. Peel, then grate carrot. Measure 1 cup loosely packed carrot, then set aside.Arrange bacon strips in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.Bake bacon in the top of the oven until crispy and cooked through, 8-12 min.**When bacon is done, transfer to a paper-towel lined plate.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add walnuts to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer to a plate.Meanwhile, combine Breakfast Baking Mix, cinnamon and 3/4 cup water in a medium bowl, then whisk until smooth. Stir in 1 cup grated carrots until combined.
Heat the same large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter, then swirl the pan until melted. Using 1/4 cup batter for each pancake, scoop batter for 3 pancakes into the pan. Cook on one side for 2-3 min. (NOTE: Do not use softened butter for this step.)When bubbles begin to form on a pancake's surface, flip with a spatula. Cook until golden-brown, 1-2 min. (TIP: Reduce heat to medium-low if pancakes are browning too quickly!)Transfer pancakes to a plate, then cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with 1 tbsp butter per batch and 1/4 cup batter per pancake until no batter remains.
Combine 2 tbsp softened butter and brown sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Add cream cheese, then beat using a whisk or an electric hand mixer until smooth and fluffy, 2-3 min. Divide carrot cake pancakes between plates then top with whipped brown sugar frosting. Sprinkle toasted walnuts over top. Drizzle maple syrup over pancakes, if desired. Serve bacon alongside.
