Method
Step 1
Brown ½ stick of butter and set aside.
Step 2
To prepare the batter: Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Whisk in buttermilk and eggs. Whisk in vegetable oil. Stir in grated carrots. Batter should be lumpy. Set aside and prepare the cinnamon roll filling.

To prepare the cinnamon roll filling: Whisk brown butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Pour into piping bag, or squeeze bottle.
Step 4
Heat griddle over medium heat. Spoon ¼ cup of batter onto griddle. Use the squeeze bottle (or piping bag) to swirl the filling into the pancake. Flip after bubbles rise to the surface. Let the other side cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove pancakes and serve.
