It’s rare that I make bread, pancakes or johnnycakes with cornmeal and don’t include my secret ingredient – carrots I’ve shredded finely.

• Carrots make bread and pancakes softer and give it moisture
• Carrots replace whole wheat – a carbohydrate with a high calorie load- with more insoluble fiber with very few calories
• Carrots add sweetness when baked or fried
• Carrots are loaded with vitamins and fiber which are essential for health
• Carrots have very little flavor once cooked but they improve texture
