A while back, I had a Freezer Cooking Day and I tried a few new recipes — including a new recipe for Whole Wheat Carrot Cake Waffles.
In all honesty, I wasn’t sure I would be impressed with the recipe. I really only made it because we had some carrots that needed to be used up.
I was pleasantly surprised when our whole family decided we loved these waffles!
Jesse especially loved them and kept raving about how good the waffles were. He was all, “Do we have any more of those Carrot Waffles and can I have them for breakfast tomorrow, too?”
Yes, these Carrot Cake Waffles are Amazing!
They have such a great texture, they are extremely hearty and filling, and they taste almost like dessert (especially if you top them with a little whipped cream!)
They are healthy and nutritious… but they don’t taste like it.

Ingredients for Carrot Cake Waffles
- 1½ cup flour (all-purpose or whole wheat)
- 1/4 cup sugar or coconut sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 1½ cups unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
- 1½ cups shredded carrots (about 4-6 large carrots)
How to Make Carrot Cake Waffles
1. In a medium bowl, mix all dry ingredients together.
2. In a large bowl, mix all wet ingredients (except carrots).
3. Dump dry ingredients into wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
4. Fold in shredded carrots.
5. Spray hot waffle iron with cooking oil or brush with melted butter.
6. Bake waffles in pre-heated waffle iron for 3-4 minutes.
NOTE: The batter is quite runny, so you’ll want to bake these until they are completely browned — otherwise, you might struggle to get them off the waffle iron!

Can you use regular milk?
Glad they were a winner for your family! 🙂
How do you reheat freezer waffles? I was microwaving mine this weekend and they came out part soggy and part over-microwaved-crunchiness ?
You could try the toaster or toaster oven. That’s my favorite for reheating waffles.
Do you think this could be used as pancake batter, too? I don’t have a waffle iron, but I love getting veggies into our breakfasts!
I’m not sure… if you try it, let us know!!
I was just asking my kids what kind of waffles they want me to make next (I too make and freeze waffles; perfect for quick breakfasts!) and now I have my answer! 🙂
Woohoo!
Will have on try these!
