You can feel good about feeding your children these nutritious waffles! Since carrots are naturally sweet, they don’t need any refined sugar, just a touch of maple syrup to add that rich, velvety flavor. Recipe and photo courtesy of Karissa Besaw from The Crunchy Chronicles.

Ingredients
Coconut Cream Frosting
15 oz
cold canned Coconut Cream
(or 2 cans of coconut milk with the coconut cream skimmed off--you only want the cream)
Whisk or beat the coconut cream until it is fluffy. This takes a minute or two using a stand mixer.
Gently mix in the maple syrup and cinnamon. Set aside until your waffles are ready to top.
Carrot Cake Waffles
Turn on your waffle iron and grease if necessary.
Whisk together the Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and salt.
Stir in the cashew milk, oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Mix in the shredded carrots and chopped pecans.
Pour 1/4 of the carrot cake waffle batter onto the iron and close the lid.
Cook until the indicator light comes on or you have browned waffles that are cooked through and do not stick to the iron. This mixture will make four waffles.
Top with the coconut cream frosting and chopped nuts (and any extra shredded carrots if you've got 'em.)
