Carrot Cake Waffles You Won’t Believe are Vegan and Gluten Free

I’m yet to meet a person who doesn’t like my carrot cake; it’s pretty decadent. Since I had to rid my diet of dairy, gluten and sugar over the last year I was up for the challenge of creating a new way to enjoy it.

These carrot cake waffles are chewy with a crisp outside, wholesome and naturally sweetened. You can easily substitute gluten free flour with wheat flour, the flax “egg” with a real egg, almond “buttermilk” with dairy and coconut sugar with brown sugar.

However, I promise you’d never know these are gluten free, refined sugar free or vegan. Consider topping these off with coconut whipped cream, “cream cheese” frosting, fresh pineapple or shredded coconut.
