Carrot Cake Waffles – How to Make Healthy Homemade Waffles

Last Updated on June 8, 2021 by Healthy Whole Wheat Carrot Waffles are the best homemade waffles that are as delicious as they are healthy. Infused with warm spices and fresh carrots, these easy instant waffles make a great weekend brunch. Pair it with applesauce as a healthier alternative to syrup! Have you ever seen those commercials advertising breakfast or waffles that look more like dessert than a way to start the day off? Syrup and compotes and whipped cream with sugar upon sugar upon sugar. I don’t even want to look at the calories in one of those plates! However, I love pancakes and waffles and when you skip all the sugar laden accoutrements, it’s a actually a pretty healthy breakfast. In this version, I have paired Healthy Waffles made with whole grains and carrots with a mango applesauce. Infused with the spices we find in carrot cake, these waffles are a great way to have your cake and eat it too! The mango applesauce is such a great complimenting condiment that really, the syrup is not necessary. However, if you want to be more decadent, especially for a weekend brunch – you can still serve it with syrup. What if you don’t have a waffle iron? No problem – you can easily make Healthy Carrot Cake Pancakes with this same waffle mix.

Tortilla De Zucchini

Hello!! One of my favorite things about summer is having a garden. I grow tomatoes, zucchinis, cucumbers, greens, asparagus and more! It usually does very well and I end up having lots of veggies. My zucchinis are doing so good, I pick about 5 zucchinis a day. That means that I end up eating lots of zucchinis every day! Yummy! I am also happy that my 1-year old baby loves to eat zucchini. Today I am making a simple tortilla (omelette) with zucchinis instead of potatoes. The classic Spanish Omelette (Tortilla Española or Tortilla de Patatas) has onions, potatoes and eggs. This one has onions, garlic and zucchini (and eggs). The way to make the tortilla (omelette) is exactly the same as the Spanish Omelette. This is a healthy and easy recipe. You can eat it warm or cold. It is perfect as an appetizer or as a meal with a simple salad as a side dish.

Chicken, Mixed Greens and Raw Cauliflower Salad

This Chicken, Mixed Greens and Raw Cauliflower salad is so refreshingly crisp and crazy addictive! I like to serve this with homemade croutons and my fave Caesar vinaigrette. Like most of you, I’ve been eating cooked cauliflower and to be honest its ok. Don’t get me wrong. I like it but its not mind blowing. Most times I pair it with sauces, like my Roasted Cauliflower Tacos with Chipotle Mojo. That recipe is bangin! if I do say so myself 😉 But after watching Chef Symon make a raw cauliflower salad on Instagram, I have been hooked! Now I throw raw cauliflower in almost all my salads.

Healthy Chip Alternatives

Harissa Cous-Cous Salad

This is a great side dish to any meal, or perfect for a BBQ or mezze feast. The two sizes of cous-cous add variety and texture, the coriander keeps it fresh, and the harissa gives a bit of a kick. It will keep well in the fridge for 3 - 4 days if you want to make up a big bowl and eat for lunch through the week. If you eat meat you could add some grilled chicken or chorizo, or for a veggie version sprinkle some feta over the top – or leave it simply as it is, it really is delicious! You can see in the photos I served it alongside my beetroot and yoghurt dip, you can also find this recipe on my account!NOTE: Serves 4-6 as a side dish.

This easy sourdough lemon cake is perfect for the summer. The addition of sourdough gives it a deeper taste and moist texture. Bright lemon cakes are perfect for those hot summer days. This recipe gets an extra flavor boost from the addition of sourdough which also makes it nicely moist. As with all my recipes, there is a bit of flexibility. Unfortunately, we have used them all up but you could make this cake with Meyer lemons, too. You could make cupcakes or use a loaf pan. And best of all, you can always adjust the amount of sugar. We tend to like our cakes not so sweet but that’s just us.

Easy Peasy Spicy Spam Musubi

This is my take on spam musubi, a Hawaiian favorite! The musubis I've seen involve a mold to create the perfect rectangle. Because I didn't have a mold like that, I decided to freestyle it! My version allows you to make this beloved classic in a jiffy without any special molds. If you know how to fold, that's it! And because I can't go a day without eating something spicy, I made a sweet spicy gochujang paste, taking inspiration from the spicy pork bulgogi, where pieces of pork are marinated in a similar sweet spicy sauce. As you can see from one of the photos, I put in a dab of extra sauce on the rice itself. But that is optional, for the spicy lovers.
