Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 1/2 cups oats gluten-free, if required
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or melted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 3/4 cup finely grated carrots

Optional Mix-ins

  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/3 cup raisins

Optional Maple Cream Cheese Topping

  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Add all of the waffle ingredients to a blender except for the carrots and optional mix-ins, and blend until a smooth batter forms.
  • Stir in the grated carrots and any optional mix-ins, if using. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes.
  • Heat waffle iron on medium heat and pour batter into the center of the iron (as much batter as your waffle iron requires). [Note: Read your waffle maker manual to see the recommendations for batter quantity and cook times.] Close lid and cook for approximately 5 minutes or as long as your waffle maker requires.

Optional Maple Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Place the cream cheese in a bowl and use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla and the maple syrup, a tablespoon at a time and continue beating the frosting until incorporated. If you wish to thin out the frosting, add milk a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Scoop a dollop of frosting on top of waffles while they are still warm and serve.
