Step-by-Step Instructions for Carrot Cake Waffles
  1. Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually around 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, eggs, and brown sugar until pale and frothy. Fold in the shredded carrots.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined.
  5. Ladle the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/2 to 3/4 cup per waffle. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  6. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until creamy.
  7. Serve the waffles warm, drizzled with the cream cheese glaze. Enjoy!
