Carrot waffles made with apple and warm spices. Easy veggie waffles for toddlers, freezer-friendly and perfect for healthy breakfasts.
Equipment
- waffle maker
- mixing bowl
- grater
Ingredients
- 1 cup carrots (grated, about 2 medium sized carrots)
- 1 apple (grated, pick a sweet apple)
- ¾ cup buckwheat flour
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (pumpkin pie spice or gingerbread spice work great too)
- pinch of salt
- ½ cup apple sauce (unsweetened)
- ⅓–½ cup unsweetened plant-based milk (almond or oat)
- neutral oil (for greasing the waffle iron)
Toppings (optional)
- yogurt (regular or plant-based)
- maple syrup
- nut butter
Instructions
- Grate 1 cup carrots and 1 apple finely using a food processor or box grater.
- In a large bowl, whisk together ¾ cup buckwheat flour, ¾ cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir in the grated carrot and apple along with ½ cup apple sauce.
- Add ⅓–½ cup unsweetened plant-based milk gradually until you have a thick but spoonable batter.
- Preheat and lightly grease your waffle iron.
- Cook the waffles until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm with yogurt and maple syrup, if desired.
Notes
- Let the waffles cool completely before freezing to prevent sogginess.
- Batter should be thick—too thin and the waffles won’t crisp properly.
