Background

These carrot and ginger waffles can be sweet or savoury. The sweet ones are perfect for breakfast or brunch, served with maple syrup - the savory version would make a good base for party nibbles.

Ingredients

2 eggs
1.5 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup milk or almond milk
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp sunflower oil
1 large carrot, grated
1 Tbsp maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

Put the flour, eggs, baking powder, oil, ginger and the milk in a blender. Pulse for a few seconds and add more milk, if needed, to have a thick, but pourable batter. Fold in the grated carrot. Add the maple syrup for the sweet version, or a pinch of salt for the savoury version.
Heat the waffle maker. Once it’s hot, spoon in the batter and seal. Following the machine instructions, cook the waffles for about 3-5 minutes - they should be golden and crispy on the outside, soft inside. You should be able to get 3 or 4 waffles from the mixture (depending on the size of your machine).
Serve warm or at room temperature.
