Happy International Waffle Day! Today is one of two Waffle holidays that happen each year. And I'm pretty sure they only have double holidays for the very best foods.
These Carrot Cake Waffles are sure to be a hit at your celebration. I've drizzled mine with a Cream Cheese Maple Syrup (recipe below), but plain syrup would be delicious too. These Carrot Cake Waffles are here just in time for Easter next weekend. Because you know bunnies love carrots and people love carrot cake and waffles, so win win!
