These waffles are jam packed with nutrients, plus a fun way to serve veggies to your little one!
This is a veggie packed recipe that’s nice and soft for your little ones! They will love the fun texture of the waffle, and they are absolutely delicious too.
The cooking time will be dependent on how big your waffle iron is.
I thought a fork was best to remove these as they are super soft and the tongs didn’t grip them right.
BABY LED WEANING
This would be a great recipe to serve babies starting at 6 months, once they’ve been safely introduced to the allergens in the waffles. For younger babies, typically it’s best to serve bigger pieces since those are easier for them to hold. Strips would work well here. Once they develop the pincer grasp (pointer and thumb pinching together), then you can start to give them smaller pieces.
For information on how to safely serve foods to babies depending on their age (plus so much more), I recommend Solid Starts. The app is free and has tons of information!
ALLERGENS
This recipe contains egg.
I haven’t tried without egg, but plan to. If you’d like to try, here’s one that has good reviews and is available online.
STORAGE
I would store these in the fridge for 4 days max, then transferred to the freezer. Freeze in a single layer, I typically will place on a baking sheet with parchment paper, and once frozen transfer to another container or ziplock bag. If you freeze altogether it’s impossible to separate, this makes it easy. They will brown slightly from the avocado.
To reheat I put in the toaster oven until warm, but you could also do the microwave. I think they turn out better when reheated in the toaster oven personally!
SUBSTITUTES & ADD INS
Season to your baby’s preferences!
TOOLS USED/RECOMMENDED
Mixing bowl
Waffle iron – I use this mini one
Steamer/Pasta Pot – We use this all the time. Has a steamer and pasta insert. This isn’t the exact one we have, but probably should switch to it because it’s stainless steel.
Masher – I like this one because it doesn’t get stuck in the drawer!
