The other day I made homemade carrot juice from a huge bag of fresh carrots. It was my first time using a vegetable juicer machine, so I was unprepared for the amount of carrot pulp that was in the fruit juicer machine. I knew that the process of turning carrots into carrot juice did not use the whole carrot and extracted the juice from the carrots but that was a lot of carrot scraps left. While most people just toss the carrot peels from the juicing machine, I am not one who likes to waste food. If you don't own a fruit and vegetable juicer, check out the best juicer for juicing that I have. It is an amazing juicer at an amazing price.

What can I make with carrot pulp?

 I love my Slow Masticating Juicer Machine for making cold press juice. My favorite vegetable to juice is carrots. Carrot juice is so sweet and loaded with nutrition. 

 After I enjoyed a cup of my DIY delicious sweet carrot juice, placed the rest in the fridge. I then saw all the leftover carrot pulp and knew that it could be used in recipes. I began to search for recipes for carrot pulp. Carrot pulp is loaded with fiber and nutrition. What I found was the usual grated carrot recipes like carrot cake and carrot muffins but one recipe stood out to me. That recipe was Homemade Carrot Juice Pulp Waffles. While the name of the recipe did not sound appealing, the photo of the carrot waffles looked so delicious and I love waffles. My family loves waffles too and I knew that adding carrot pulp would make them a healthy breakfast option.

Carrot pulp is loaded with fiber and nutrients

While carrot juice is loaded with awesome nutrition, many people toss the carrot pulp after making the homemade carrot juice recipe. What they don't realize is that the carrot scrapes or carrot pulp contains plenty of healthy fiber and nutrients like vitamin A. So it is a healthy addition to many recipes like carrot cake, quick bread, veggie burgers, and waffles. I have discovered that adding carrot pulp to recipes gives the food a nice orange color but not the taste of carrots. These homemade waffles do not taste like carrots! So you can serve them to your kids and they will never know that you put healthy carrots in the waffles. Even my husband enjoyed the carrot waffles and he usually does not eat my healthy foods. My husband even asked me to make another batch of the carrot juice pulp waffles.

Carrot Juice Waffles are

I'll be honest, I don't think there would ever be carrot pulp in this house. But if there were, I would try these waffles. They do look tasty!

S. Graham said...

I've never tried a waffle like this before! It's so unique and sounds absolutely delicious!!

Kathy said...

These sound amazing. I've never tried carrot waffles before. I can't wait to try them out.

I would love to try these! Anything to sneak some veggie nutrition into the kids is a great idea to me!

Lyosha Varezhkina said...

Lisa Joy Thompson said...

Chad said...

This to me is a perfect breakfast, i love carrot juice and it is so healthy. Love it!!!!

Passion Piece said...

I love this kind of healthy snacks. I have never prepared waffles with carrot pulp, sounds so delicious! :)

Unknown said...

Does it matter what kind of flour I use

Mom Knows Best said...

I think white flour works the best but you could switch out half of the flour with wheat flour. If you have a waffle recipe that uses other flour, you can add the carrot pulp to that, just make sure to add extra water to get the texture of the batter like you are used to.

Mo said...

Made this for brunch and it was DELICIOUS! I did modify a bit and added 1.5 cup pulp (since I have a LOT from juicing over 5lb) but they did beautifully in the waffle maker.

One thing I'll remember for next time is that I ended up with 12 waffles! Could be the size of my waffle maker haha. So unless I'm expecting company I'll half the recipe in the future. This is definitely a keeper and one to experiment with other pulp as well (apple?? Yum!)

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing!

Mom Knows Best said...

Glad you liked the recipe. More carrots sounds delicious. I will have to try that next time I make these.

Anonymous said...

Thank you for the recipe. I used 2 cups of carrot pulp and 1.5 cups of flour. They came out tasty. I just had to cook them longer to get crispy texture of waffles.

Mom Knows Best said...

Glad to hear that you enjoyed the recipe.

Amazing!!!!

This turned out really nicely-used a carrot-apple pulp mix and the family loved it!

Mom Knows Best said...

That sounds delicious and is a great way to use the apple pulp.

How long can you keep the unused batter in the fridge ?

Mom Knows Best said...

I would use it up in a couple of days. I like to make my waffles and then store them in the fridge for a week or for way longer in the freezer.

I love Waffles especially sourdough waffles I always make a large batch and freeze the extra and then when I want one I just pop one in the toaster easy as pie and delicious

Renee said...

I'm not sure I could do waffles with carrot, but it definitely sounds interesting.

I don't have a juicer, but I want to make some of these recipes including the waffles and the crackers. Dogs would love leftover carrot pulp as a delicious treat too.

Beautiful Touches said...

This seems like an interesting edition to waffles! I'll have to give these a try!

Clarice said...

Wow! This is a great idea. I also have no idea what to do with my carrot pulp. Usually I just throw it away. Can't wait to try these. Thank you so much for sharing. It is also brilliant to add it to veggie burgers.

Christy G said...

These do look good but I am not a fan of juicing. I'd rather eat my veggies than to drink them honestly.

Naomi S said...

I used your recipe to make waffles with left over pulp from juicing with carrots, beets, apples and ginger the day before. The waffles were excellent!!! My husband loved them. You really could not taste the beets or carrots or ginger. I did make a couple substitutions such as flaxseed for eggs and applesauce for oil. Yet, it was still moist and delicious. Thank you very much for this template. I no longer need to compose my pulp:)

Anonymous said...

I just made these cause I had a load of carrot pulp. This was good!

Stephanie Steiner said...

Just made these, they were very tasty! I subbed oil for butter and pureed the carrot in the Vitamix with the milk because I have picky eaters when it comes to texture.. it was perfect.

Laura JL Books said...

These sound so interesting, I rather eat veggie instead of juicing them. thanks for sharing this with us.

Kathy said...

These sound really interesting. I'll have to give them a try. I would have never thought to make them like this.

That's a great idea to use up carrot pulp. I used to just add it to the compost heap. Waffles are a better use.

Monica said...

I haven't juiced in so long but I used to use carrots all the time. I love their color so much. Those waffles look great!
