Zucchini-Carrot Waffles with Spicy Maple Syrup
My zucchini-carrot waffles (with or without the spicy, drippy maple syrup) is a recipe you will love a whole brunch!
Ingredients
Waffles
- 3 cups grated carrots*
- 3 cups grated zucchini, skin on*
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- ¼ cup minced herbs of choice, dill, basil, thyme, tarragon, parsley, etc
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- ¾ cup whole wheat flour**
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Spicy Maple Syrup
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 2-4 teaspoons sriracha
- *Use the largest hole of a box grater. Measure 3 cups grated zucchini prior to draining, after draining it will be less.
- **May swap in oat flour, all-purpose flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, or chickpea flour. This does not work with almond flour.
Instructions
- Drain the grated zucchini with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible. Add drained zucchini to a large mixing bowl with all other ingredients. Mix until well blended.
- Heat the waffle iron and mist with nonstick oil spray. Once heated, add a heaping ¼ cup batter to each waffle compartment, close lid and cook for about 15 minutes. Because it’s a veggie-based batter, it’ll take longer than traditional flour waffles.
- When the waffles are ready, use a fork or bamboo skewer to carefully loosen the edges and lift them out of each compartment. Serve immediately or place them on a baking sheet in a low oven to keep warm until your batches are complete and you’re ready to eat.
- Serve with a dollop of yogurt or drizzle of maple syrup on top. If you’re a fellow spice lover, try mixing a squirt of sriracha sauce with maple syrup for a fiery kick! Yum!
