I love a sweet, but hearty breakfast to start the day. And if it can be put together in less than 20 minutes, even better! This carrot cake waffle recipe is just such a breakfast!

I love adding shredded carrots to various recipes that I make through out the week – dinner salads, spaghetti sauce, breakfast muffins, just to name a few! So when I am shredding carrots for something that I’ll be having at dinner time, I’ll often shred a few extra cups worth to make these carrot cake waffles in the morning!

It saves time, and mess, in the process of making my morning waffles. Winning!

Despite the fact that these waffles are a sweet way to start the day, they’re pretty hearty and filling! 2 or three of these in the morning (I may or may not save the second half of the batter for myself for lunch of breakfast the following day) is the perfect way to fuel the day! And they pair perfectly with with a cup of coffee!

Filled and fueled until it’s time for lunch, I call these carrot cake waffles a breakfast win!
