1 cup flour
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1. Begin heating your waffle iron before you start making the batter.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and apricots. Whisk together to combine. In a small bowl, combine buttermilk, egg, brown sugar, and vanilla. Whisk together, then add carrots.
3. Gently combine dry and wet ingredients until fully incorporated – allow to sit for 5 minutes before using. When the batter is ready, pour into a greased waffle iron set on medium-low heat. Allow to cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
4. To make the topping, whip the cream cheese with a fork (I did this after microwaving the cream cheese for 20 seconds). Mix in honey, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
