Ingredients

For the Whole Wheat Carrot Cake Waffles:

For the Cream Cheese Whipped Cream:

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (the kind in a brick, not lowfat, not whipped, not the kind in a tub)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold

Instructions

Make the Whole Wheat Carrot Cake Waffles:

  • Preheat a waffle baker.
  • In a large bowl, place the flours, nuts, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt, and stir to combine.
  • In a large liquid measure, place the milk, carrot, pineapple, melted butter, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla, and stir to combine.
  • Add the liquid ingredients to the dry, and stir just until barely combined. (Do not overmix, or the waffles could come out tough. The batter should be lumpy.)
  • Place about ½ cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron, and bake for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Keep warm in a low oven.

Make the Cream Cheese Whipped Cream:

  • Place the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract in a small bowl and whip on medium speed for about 3 minutes with the whip attachment.
  • Slowly drizzle in the cold heavy cream, while whipping on medium speed.
  • Scrape the bottom and sides of the mixing bowl with a silicone spatula, increase the speed to medium high, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
