Ingredients

For the Carrot Cake Waffles

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup milk I ude dairy free
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp Nielsen Massey Orange Extract
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp oil I used olive oil
  • 1/4 cup walnuts
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1 carrot grated

For the Cream Cheese Drizzle

  • 2 tbsp milk I used dairy free
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 3 tbsp confectioners sugar
  • splash each of Vanilla Extract and Orange Extract

Instructions

For the Carrot Cake Waffles

  • Preheat your oven to 300 degrees and plug in your waffle iron. I turned my dial so it was just below the max setting.
  • Then, add the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, cardamom, cinnamon and ginger to a bowl and mix well with a whisk. Then, add in the milk, vanilla extract and orange extract and mix well. 
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and oil well together (I'm actually not sure of the reasoning behind this, but, my waffles always turn out better when I do this step). Add the egg and oil mixture to the Waffle batter. 
  • Add in the carrots, walnuts and raisins and mix well. Add 4-5 tablespoons (or however much our waffle iron allows) and let cook till done. 
  • *When waffles are done, I like to place them in the preheated oven for no more than 10 minutes or so, so they get a bit more crispier.  

For the Cream Cheese Drizzle

  • Warm the milk so it's slightly warm, then mix in the cream cheese and confectioners sugar. Add in a splash each of the vanilla extract and the orange extract. If lumpy, pass through a strainer and then drizzle on to the Carrot Cake Waffles and enjoy.
