Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1.75 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Grated carrots
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.25 cups Raisins (optional)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (for topping, optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for topping, optional)
- 1 tablespoons Milk (for topping, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Fold in the grated carrots, and if desired, the chopped walnuts and raisins.
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Pour the batter into the waffle iron (amount depends on the size of your waffle iron), and cook according to the manufacturer's recommendations until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
If making the cream cheese topping, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon of milk together until smooth and creamy.
Serve the waffles warm, topped with the cream cheese spread, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
