Instructions
- Preheat waffle iron
- Combine flour, baking powder, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium mixing bowl.
- In a separate, smaller mixing bowl, whisk together egg, oil and milk.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined (it’s okay if there are still a few flour clumps).
- Finally, fold in shredded zucchini and carrot until just combined.
- Place about 1/3 of the batter in each section of the waffle iron then cook.
- Remove and allow to cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes, then enjoy!
Notes
- If you don’t have a waffle iron, just stream in a little more milk (about 1/2 cup) until texture is thin enough for pancakes
- Waffles freeze well in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
