Waffled Carrot Cake for the Easter Season

 



Prep Time: 5-10 minutes

Cook Time 20-22 minutes

Serves 8-10 waffles

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/8 tsp baking soda

1/8 tsp cinnamon

1/8 tsp ground clove

1/8 tsp nutmeg

1 large egg

1/4 cup buttermilk

1/4 cup milk (we used powdered milk and water)

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup shredded carrot

3 Tbsp raisins

3 Tbsp chopped walnuts


Directions 

1. Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, clove and nutmeg (and powdered milk).

2. Whisk together egg, buttermilk, milk (or water), and vanilla extract until smooth.  Add dry ingredients and mix until no clumps remain. mix in carrot, raisins, and walnuts.

3. Add 3 Tablespoons of waffle mix to the Mini Waffle maker* and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes/waffle.

4. Top with whatever you desire.

*Tip: you may want to use a pastry brush with oil (we used coconut oil) on the waffle plates so they release nicely.

We made these for dessert waffles on Good Friday (3/29/24) as the 'dessert' for our breakfast for dinner with Addie Florshultz and the Portuguese Elders.
