Here are some delicious ways to enjoy your peanut butter waffles: Peanut butter is a powerhouse of protein, healthy fats, and and fiber. When added to waffles, it not only boosts the flavor but also provides a more satisfying and nourishing meal. Peanut butter is also one of the top allergens and it’s recommended to introduce it to your baby early and often to minimize the risk of developing a peanut allergy. Here’s the ultimate guide to peanut butter for baby. These aren’t too sweet so you can add either sweet or savory toppings to pack in even more nutrition with every bite. Same goes for these pumpkin baby waffles, strawberry waffles, and mini waffles! As you can see in the images, the waffles are thicker and larger than standard waffles because the waffle iron has deeper grids. The ability to flip the waffles over is also an awesome feature as it helps create fluffy and evenly browned waffles. I had a friend try this recipe out using her regular waffle maker and she said the waffles turned out perfectly light and fluffy! The husband is the master waffle maker around here as I don’t want to learn how to use yet another gadget. And he finds it therapeutic so it’s a win-win! Apparently waffles cook faster in a regular waffle maker than in a Belgian waffle maker so definitely bake according to your manufacturer’s instructions. You can also use this mini waffle maker, which will give you the most adorably sized waffles.
Fresh Fruit: Top with sliced bananas, strawberries, or blueberries for a burst of natural sweetness. Greek Yogurt: Add a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and a protein boost. Honey or Maple Syrup: Drizzle with honey or maple syrup for added sweetness. Granola: Sprinkle some granola on top for a crunchy texture. Chopped Nuts: Add a handful of chopped peanuts or almonds for extra crunch and flavor. Fruit Jam: Spoon over your favorite fruit compote or jam for a fruity twist. Nut Butters: Spread a layer of almond or cashew butter on top for a different nutty flavor. For peanut butter lovers: drizzle with some peanut butter syrup or peanut butter powder.
How to Store Peanut Butter Waffles
Let waffles cool completely in a wire rack after cooking. Then store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To freeze, lay them on a cookie sheet and flash freeze, just like how you would freeze pancakes. When ready to heat, pop them into the toaster or toaster oven. You can also place in the microwave for 1 minute per waffle – won’t be as crispy but still tasty. These can also be enjoyed cold, making them perfect for an easy school lunch!
For Babies and Toddlers
6-8 months: (pictured: waffles with mashed avocado and yogurt, raspberries, omelette strip). Bigger the better at this age so either quarter or cut into strips so your baby can grab with their palm. For toddlers, here’s a fun idea – DIY waffle bar ;). Serve the waffle alongside various toppings and see what fun combinations they come up with. By the way, this plate is AMAZING! It’s so spacious, allowing plenty of room for small hands to explore, and the suction is so powerful! My baby has not once been able to remove it from the table. Did you make this recipe?
