Method of Preparation
Preheat your mini waffle maker according to the manufacturer's .
In a small microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) of cream cheese and ½ pat of butter for about 15-20 seconds.
Transfer the melted mixture to a small blender.
Add the shredded carrot, sweetener, almond flour, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, baking powder, and the egg.
Blend on high for 20-30 seconds, or until the batter is completely smooth and uniform.
Lightly grease your hot waffle maker with coconut oil or non-stick spray.
Pour the batter into the center, close the lid, and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
While the chaffle cooks, prepare the frosting.
In a small bowl, whisk together the softened 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) of cream cheese, 1 pat of butter, and powdered sweetener until smooth and creamy.
Carefully remove the finished chaffle from the waffle maker.
Spread or drizzle with the cream cheese frosting and enjoy immediately.
Do not overfill your waffle maker. The batter will expand as it cooks due to the egg and baking powder.
