Instructions

To make the carrot cake waffles:

Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, salt, allspice, nutmeg, and carrots.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, butter, yogurt, and vanilla. Mix the wet ingredients into the flour mixture until just combined.
Grease the heated waffle iron with butter or oil. Add a ladleful of the prepared batter (2 tablespoons for mini waffle iron and about 1/4 cup for a standard size). Heat until the waffle is cooked through and starting to turn golden. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.

To make the cream cheese frosting:

In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla using a hand mixer until smooth. Slowly beat in the heavy cream until light and fluffy.
Serve the warm waffles immediately with the cream cheese frosting, a sprinkling of chopped pecans or walnuts, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
