Waffles are a staple breakfast item and there are so many ways to customize different flavors to make them suitable for babies and toddlers. Here are 10 simple recipes for waffles for babies that are easy to make and refined-sugar-free!
Waffles are a great breakfast item to have on hand to serve to your little one. You can definitely pick up a pack of frozen waffles from a grocery store, but it is so simple to customize different waffle flavors and textures on your own! I love incorporating veggies, fruits, and healthy fats into waffles and batch making them to freeze and serve throughout a busy week. Here are some waffle variations, both savory and sweet that you can try for your little ones!
Spinach Banana Waffles
Spinach and banana is a classic flavor combo that is a great way to incorporate veggies into your little one’s meals. Blend spinach into your waffle batter for fun-colored, nutritious waffles that your little ones are sure to love!
