Looking for an easy, delicious meal your toddler will love? These Pizza Waffles combine the best of pizza and waffles into one fun, handheld dish. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or a snack, they’re quick to whip up in one bowl and cook in a waffle maker, making cleanup a breeze!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup flour
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup pizza sauce
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or your favorite blend)
• 1/2 cup chopped pepperoni (or any other pizza toppings)

Instructions:

1. Mix Everything in One Bowl:
   • In a large bowl, combine the flour, egg, milk, pizza sauce, baking powder, shredded cheese, and chopped pepperoni (or any additional toppings like veggies or cooked sausage). Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly mixed.
2. Cook in Waffle Maker:
   • Preheat your waffle maker and grease it lightly with cooking spray or butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the waffle maker (depending on its size) and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden and crispy.
3. Serve:
   • Let the waffles cool slightly before serving. Offer extra pizza sauce for dipping or sprinkle more cheese on top!

Why This Recipe is Great for Toddlers and Families:

1. One-Bowl Wonder: Everything goes into one bowl, making this recipe super easy and minimizing the mess.
2. Perfect for Little Hands: Waffle shapes are ideal for toddlers to hold and eat on their own, making mealtime fun and mess-free.
3. Customizable: Easily adjust toppings to fit your toddler’s tastes. Add vegetables like chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, or even cooked ground beef for a variety of flavors.
4. Balanced Nutrition: This recipe provides a healthy balance of protein from the egg and cheese, carbs from the flour, and optional veggies for extra nutrition.

Storage Instructions:

• Refrigerator: Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the toaster or oven to get them crispy again.
• Freezer: Freeze the waffles by placing them on a baking sheet for an hour, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster or oven directly from frozen.
