Veggie and the Beast's Carrot Cake Waffles defy conventional breakfast rules as this hybrid dish allows dessert to be a morning meal.
Taken from 'The High-Protein Vegetarian Cookbook,' Carrot Cake Waffles taste like dessert but offer all the nutrients needed for the first meal of the day. Packed with whole grain goodness, each waffle carries an array of protein. Due to the carrot cake infusion, this dish is also high in fiber and vitamin A. Crisp on the outside with a light and fluffy textured interior, Carrot Cake Waffles can be cut open to reveal a number of oats. Contrary to the usual waffle dish, these breakfast cakes are topped off with a maple cream cheese glaze, which is tangy as well as smooth.
Waffles such as this can serve as a portable breakfast snack or midday dessert.
