Carrot Cake Waffles

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Carrot Cake Waffles are a High-Protein Hybrid

— June 10, 2015 — Lifestyle
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.
Trend Themes
1. High-protein Hybrid Breakfasts - The trend of creating hybrid dishes that combine dessert flavors with a high-protein breakfast is disrupting the traditional breakfast industry.
2. Innovative Waffle Flavors - The trend of experimenting with unique flavors, such as carrot cake, in waffle recipes is creating opportunities for innovative and distinct waffle products.
3. Healthy Dessert Substitutes - The trend of incorporating healthy ingredients, like whole grains and vegetables, into dessert-inspired dishes is providing disruptive innovation opportunities for healthier dessert alternatives.
Industry Implications
1. Breakfast Food - The breakfast food industry can tap into the trend of high-protein hybrid breakfasts by offering unique and nutritious breakfast options that appeal to health-conscious consumers.
2. Frozen Waffles - The frozen waffle industry can take advantage of the trend of innovative waffle flavors by introducing new waffle varieties that cater to consumers looking for exciting and indulgent breakfast options.
3. Healthy Snacks - The healthy snacks industry can capitalize on the trend of healthy dessert substitutes by developing and marketing products that satisfy consumers' cravings for desserts while providing nutritional benefits.
