Instructions

Grate your zucchini using a fine grater. If it’s very watery, gently press or squeeze out a bit of the excess moisture using a clean towel or paper towels.
In a bowl, combine grated zucchini, egg, milk, cheese, flour, and baking powder. Mix until well combined.
Preheat your mini waffle maker.
Spoon a few tablespoons of batter into the center of the waffle maker and close the lid.
Cook for about 3–4 minutes or until golden and crisp on the outside.
Remove carefully and repeat with remaining batter.
Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Be sure to squeeze out the grated zucchini using a clean towel or paper towels to avoid soggy waffles.

This recipe makes about 3–4 mini waffles, depending on your waffle maker.

These waffles are soft and cheesy on the inside with lightly crisp edges—perfect for toddlers.

Serve plain, with a dip like marinara, or alongside fruit for a balanced meal.
