Carrot Cake Waffles

"These Carrot Cake Waffles are a family favorite for brunch, Easter breakfast, and slow Sunday mornings. They have all the warm spice of carrot cake packed into golden, crisp waffles. Add a swirl of maple cream cheese glaze, and breakfast suddenly feels like dessert. These are some of my favorite breakfast recipes: my Glazed Vanilla Donuts and my Pancake in a Mug Recipes. Carrot cake waffles are more than just a breakfast item; they’re a delightful fusion of two beloved comforts. They offer all the familiar, warm spices and tender crumb of a carrot cake recipe, but in a fun, crispy waffle form. It’s a playful nod to a classic that makes breakfast feel special. The natural sweetness of carrots, combined with cinnamon, nutmeg, and often ginger, creates a complex and comforting flavor. When paired with a hint of cream cheese glaze, it’s truly a match made in heaven. The waffle iron delivers a crispy exterior and a soft, moist interior, providing a satisfying textural contrast that you don’t get with traditional carrot cake. I like my waffles crispy, so I left them in the machine for a while. While perfect for breakfast or brunch, these waffles can easily double as a unique dessert. I love the carrot cake flavor, and they also freeze well. With real carrots in the mix, you’re getting a little extra vegetable power in your morning meal. You can make vegan carrot waffles or a gluten-free version. "
