Carrot Cake Waffles
Keep your taste buds satisfied!
Introduction
Anyone else feel like they eat the same thing for breakfast over and over again? I’m constantly trying to find new ways to keep our taste buds satisfied – enter carrot cake waffles! I took a basic waffle recipe and twisted it a little to add in some extra nutrients, especially important for the Little’s of the house! We’re also nearing Valentine’s Day, so I thought I’d get a little festive and cut the strawberries into hearts – the twins definitely didn’t notice but I thought it was cute 🙂
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup vanilla greek yogurt
- 1 1/4 cups vanilla oat milk
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 & 1/2 cups shredded carrots
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tbsp ground flax
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- dash of nutmeg
✖️Begin by adding all of your wet ingredients into a blender – eggs, yogurt, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, shredded carrots – or you can whisk by hand
✖️In a separate bowl add your dry ingredients, flour, flax, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg. Mix together
✖️Slowly add your dry ingredients to wet. I did this all in the Vitamix, so I added half of the dry mixture, blended it, then added the rest. Continue blending until smooth
✖️Using a waffle iron, grease the moulds – add approx 1/2 cup of batter. Cook according to your iron (mine has a nice light that turns green when ready!)
✖️Serve with your favourite toppings – syrup, peanut butter, whipping cream, fresh fruit!
✖️Once the waffles have cooled, you can freeze them. Pull them out one at a time, stick in the toaster and breakfast is served!
