Carrot Cake Waffles With Cream Cheese Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a medium bowl until combined. Add the carrots and stir until coated. Set aside.
• Whisk together the egg, milk and the 1 tablespoon oil in a large bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
• Lightly grease the waffle iron with butter or oil. Add 1/3 cup of the batter and cook according to the waffle iron instructions until golden, about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the cream cheese and maple syrup in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.
• Drizzle the waffles with the maple cream cheese and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread all the pecans on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then pulse 1/2 cup in a food processor until very finely chopped, but not ground. Roughly chop the remaining pecans for garnish.
• For the cream cheese frosting: Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese and butter in a small bowl and beat with a hand mixer until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and salt and beat until incorporated and smooth. Set aside.
• For the carrot cake: Turn the oven down to 200 degrees F. Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Whisk together the finely ground pecans, flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the oil, milk, lemon zest, vanilla and eggs in another bowl. Stir in the coconut and carrots. Fold the carrot-egg mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's ok if there are lumps).
• Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with oil. Fill the waffle iron about three-quarters of the way full (some waffle iron should still be showing). Close the lid gently and cook until the waffle is golden brown and slightly crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Keep the cooked waffles warm in the oven or covered with foil on a plate while you make the remaining waffles.
• Spread each waffle with the cream cheese frosting, sprinkle with the chopped pecans and dust with cinnamon.

Steps:

• 1. Directions for cream cheese butter: Beat the softened butter and cream cheese until fluffy.

• 12. Ladle mixture into hot waffle iron.
• 13. Cook approximately 4-6 minutes on medium-high or until the waffle maker stops steaming.
• 14. Place the waffles on a baking sheet in a 200° oven to keep them warm and crisp until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Place butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling the pan constantly, until butter is bubbling, smells nutty, and browned bits begin to form on the bottom of the pan, 5 to 10 minutes. Immediately remove from heat and pour butter into a heat-safe bowl. Allow brown butter to cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 12x16-inch pan and line with parchment paper.
• Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl.
• Beat cooled brown butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, until mixture is light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla. Pour in 1/2 of the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Add in remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined.
• Fold in shredded carrots, walnuts, and raisins. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of it comes out clean, 23 to 27 minutes. Transfer onto a wire rack and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• While cake is cooling, repeat step 1 to brown butter for the frosting. Let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
• Beat cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until completely smooth. Add in cooled brown butter and mix until thoroughly combined. Mix in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla and salt. Beat frosting at medium-high speed until completely smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Spread frosting over the cooled cake. Chill cake until ready to serve.
