How to Make This Baby Waffle Recipe

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients Start by gathering your ingredients – rolled oats, a ripe banana, milk, and a handful of blueberries.

Step 2: Blend the Magic In your blender, combine the rolled oats, mashed banana, milk, and blueberries. Blend until you have a smooth batter with a beautiful purple hue, courtesy of the blueberries.

Step 3: Warm Up the Waffle Maker Preheat your mini waffle maker.

Step 4: Pour and Cook Pour a small amount of the batter into the center of the waffle maker. Remember, these waffles are meant to be baby-sized, so a little goes a long way. Close the waffle maker and let the magic happen. The batter will transform into adorable mini waffles before your eyes.

Step 5: Explore and Enjoy! Once cooked, gently remove the toddler-friendly blueberry waffle from the maker. Let it fully cool before serving to your baby!

Substitutions

Oats: Use certified gluten-free rolled oats to make the waffles GF. Quick oats can be used, but the texture will be softer.

Banana: Very ripe banana adds sweetness. Swap with applesauce or pumpkin purée for a milder flavor, though the texture may vary.

Milk: Any milk—dairy or plant-based (oat, almond, soy)—works well. Full-fat dairy gives richer waffles.

Blueberries: Fresh or frozen both work. Mix in frozen berries straight from the freezer to avoid excess moisture.

Storing Blueberry Waffles for Toddlers

• If you happen to have any leftovers (which is rare, given how delightful these waffles are!), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them in a zip lock bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster or oven until they’re warm and ready.
