Let’s just call this week breakfast week on the blog, shall we? I know I just posted about baked oatmeal on Tuesday, but these tasty vegan carrot cake waffles just couldn’t wait to be shared! After wanting a waffle maker for ages, I finally convinced Will that we have enough cabinet space in our kitchen to squeeze in a small waffle iron. Plus, we were already at Bed Bath and Beyond buying couple other items on a gift card from our wedding so why not pick one up? I felt like a little kid waking up on Christmas morning when I got up the next day and made a batch of these vegan carrot cake waffles.
Carrot cake was my absolute favorite dessert when growing up. I would always request a carrot cake whenever my birthday came around. (Speaking of which, I am turning 29 very soon. Eek!) These waffles have some of the great flavor of carrot cake, just in breakfast form. Make these waffles for your family this weekend and I’m sure they would never guess they were vegan! I served mine with a sprinkle of shredded coconut, chopped walnuts, and maple syrup. Mmm….!

OMG, carrot cake waffles, I need these in my life right now!!! Definitely making these for breakfast this weekend, pinned 🙂
can I substitute cocos-rice (milk for drinking) for almond milk?
★★★★★
Yes, that substitution would work!
Why do my waffles stick to top and bottom of waffle-maker???
Hmmm… I’m not sure. I didn’t have that problem with this recipe. I would make sure to thoroughly spray your waffle iron with cooking spray between each waffle. That always works well for me.
I also have this issue with this recipe only. Maybe the sugar amount is too much? I will try next time with less sugar and I’ll be for sure making this every weekend 🙂

Hi Annie, so I went back through my recipe notes and I think it was a typo. There should be 1 3/4 whole wheat flour in these! I corrected it above and just retested the recipe with 1 3/4 cup flour with no sticking issues. So sorry about that. You’ll have to let me know if that change worked for you! 🙂
Very, very delicious. My guests loved them.
★★★★★
Yay – I am so glad to hear that! 🙂
