Crispy Carrot Spelt Waffles
Crispy Carrot Spelt Waffles
"Break your Sunday morning pancake routine with these carrot spelt waffles. They’re crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and come together in under 30 minutes. I meeeeannn. Need I say more? Spelt is an ancient cousin of modern wheat. It’s rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, and fiber. That fiber helps keep you full and may reduce the blood sugar spikes that are all-too-common after a tall stack of flapjacks. Aside from all of that, spelt has a wonderfully nutty flavor similar to farro. It goes great with the sweet carrots and spicy cinnamon and ginger."
