I followed this recipe and the waffles were delicious. My kids loved it. Baking again today :)

Wow, these cake waffles look amazing. I never get tired of baking so adding this to my favorites.

These waffles really do taste like carrot cake! They’re full of sweet carrots and cozy spices, and they’re the perfect combination of fluffy on the inside and crisp on the outside. Definitely one of my all-time favorite waffle recipes! Leftovers will keep for at least 4 days if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and they freeze well too.

¼ cups (270 grams) white whole wheat flour flour

½ tsp ground allspice

tsp baking soda

unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted

tbsp (15 milliliters) vanilla extract

tsp pure maple syrup ((see Notes!))

(120 grams) plain nonfat Greek yogurt

tbsp (30 milliliters) distilled white vinegar

(180 milliliters) nonfat milk

tbsp (90 milliliters) water

tbsp (28 grams) well softened light cream cheese ((see Notes!))

tsp nonfat milk

liquid

Preheat the oven to 350°F, and generously coat 2 waffle pans with nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter, egg whites, vanilla, and maple syrup. Add in the Greek yogurt, stirring until no large lumps remain. Stir in the vinegar and milk. Alternate between adding the flour mixture and water, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, and stirring just until incorporated. (For best results, add the flour mixture in 4 equal parts.) Gently fold in the carrots.

Divide the batter between the prepared waffle pans, and spread the batter out with a spatula. (It doesn’t spread on its own!) Bake at 350°F for 14-17 minutes or until the centers feel firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

FOR WAFFLES WITH CRISP OUTSIDES: Let the waffles cool completely to room temperature. Toast individual waffles in a toaster oven until deep golden brown on the outside.

OPTIONAL DRIZZLE: To prepare the drizzle, mix together the cream cheese, milk, and stevia in a small bowl. Transfer the mixture to a zip-topped bag, cut off a piece of one corner, and drizzle on top of the toasted waffles.
