These waffles keep you full for hours!
The recipe makes two carrot cake waffles… and you can eat them both.
Soft and indulgent waffles, covered in a thick layer of frosting. It’s almost like eating real carrot cake for breakfast, without that crash-and-burn feeling you get from consuming too much sugar. You can enjoy all the deliciousness of carrot cake, while getting heart-healthy fiber, whole grains, and vitamins at the same time!
These waffles are best with coconut butter or my Healthy Cream Cheese Frosting.
Carrot Cake Waffles
(Makes 2 waffles)
- 1/2 cup spelt flour (or all-purpose or Bob’s gluten-free) (60g)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch stevia extract, or 2 tbsp agave or pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup shredded carrot (32g)
- 1/3 cup milk of choice (decrease by 2tbsp if using the agave/syrup) (80g is 1/3c)
- 1 tbsp more milk of choice or 1 tbsp oil (15g)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (4g)
Combine first 6 ingredients in a mixing bowl, and stir well. In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Grease your waffle maker, with oil or oil spray (be sure to grease well if using the oil-free version), then let it preheat. Pour wet ingredients into dry, and stir to make a batter. When the iron is hot, pour half the batter into the center of the iron, and close the lid. (My machine has a light that goes out when the waffle is ready. Don’t lift the lid before the waffle is finished cooking.) Frost these vegan carrot cake waffles with either coconut butter or my healthy cream cheese frosting (linked below the second photo in this post).

In the calorie information, does one serving = one waffle or both? Great recipe!

I was just looking at your blog the other day for carrot cake pancakes! I knew you have so many pancake recipes and so many carrot cake recipes, so I was almost surprised not to find them haha. I think I’ll pull out the waffle iron and give this a try!
Such a clever recipe!
This looks delicious.. I think I am going to try this but switch up the flour. Thanks for posting! 🙂
Now I need a waffle iron…. fast!
Hi Katie,
Are the nutrition facts based on one or two waffles? Because as far as I know, spelt flour has at least 160 calories per 1/2 cup.
They are per waffle.
Carrot cake is my FAVORITE! Cannot wait to make these!!!!!
Oh, to bad I don’t have a waffle maker…
Can these be made with protein powder instead of flour? Thanks!
Sorry, I really have no idea.
I am curious as well! Please post results if you try it!
