Carrot Cake Waffles

Carrot Cake Waffles

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.
