carrot cake waffles with cream cheese frosting
We are celebrating Carrot Cake Day with Pumpkin Spice Carrot Cake Waffles topped with Cream Cheese Frosting. And let me tell you – THEY WERE AMAZING!
Sorry for yelling…
shredded carrots
I hope you are fortunate enough to live near a Trader Joe. We are not but we do have family we visit who are. So, when we visit, and if it is still the right season, we stock up on Pumpkin Spice Pancake/Waffle Mix. It’s so good on its own, but it did the trick extra well with the shredded carrots inside – and I love it when I can sneak in some extra nutrition into breakfast (or dessert).
Hrmmm…. who gets the leftovers in their lunch?
