Seasonal fall cuisine doesn't just stop at pumpkin spice – just look at these delicious carrot cake pancakes with coconut cream frosting. Using whole wheat pastry flour instead of the regular all-white, these pancakes contain dietary fiber and protein. The applesauce also provides a great source of fiber, and various spices give this dish a festive taste. Drizzle on some coconut-cream cheese frosting for a more savory feel.
