Instructions

Start by shredding the carrot using a grater. Ensure the shreds are fine enough to blend well with the other ingredients.
In a bowl, combine the shredded carrot, shredded cheddar cheese, egg, and garlic powder. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Preheat your mini waffle maker and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a little bit of oil to prevent sticking.
Spoon the cheesy carrot mixture onto the waffle maker, spreading it out evenly. Close the lid and cook for about 2-2.5 minutes, or until the waffle maker’s light turns off. If the waffle isn't sticking together, it might need a little more cooking time.
Carefully remove the waffle and let it cool slightly before serving to your toddler.

Notes

If using pre-shredded carrots, give them a quick chop for smaller toddler-friendly pieces.

These waffles are tasty on their own or dipped in yogurt, hummus, or marinara.

If your waffle iron tends to stick, give it a quick spray or brush of oil between batches.

This recipe makes about 2 standard-size waffles but can vary slightly depending on your waffle maker.
