1 carrot peeled and cut into 4-inch lengths, 1 cup shredded
1 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1 large egg
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons butter melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
cooking spray or melted butter
4 ounces cream cheese softened
3 tablespoons powdered sugar sifted

1
Attach Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder Attachment to KitchenAid(R) Stand Mixer, and attach medium shredding blade. Position large bowl under attachment to catch shredded carrots. Fill feed tube with carrots. Turn stand mixer to speed 6 and process. Spread shredded carrots out onto paper towel. Roll up and gently squeeze to soak up excess moisture.
2
In large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar and cinnamon. Stir in coconut. In separate medium bowl, combine egg, buttermilk, butter and vanilla. Stir in carrots. Stir carrot mixture into dry ingredients until just combined.
3
Remove Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder Attachment from stand mixer and attach flat beater. Add cream cheese to stand mixer bowl and turn to speed 6, beating until smooth. Turn off stand mixer and add sifted powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, sea salt, and vanilla. Turn stand mixer to speed 4 and combine ingredients.
4
Heat griddle over medium heat. Coat with cooking spray or melt butter over griddle. Griddle is ready when a sprinkle of water dances on surface. Drop batter, 3 tablespoons at a time and cook until golden on each side, about 2 minutes. Repeat until all batter is used.
5
Serve immediately with Cream Cheese Drizzle and additional powdered sugar, if desired.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
