Healthy Waffles For Baby
Easy delicious Healthy Waffles for baby with the goodness of oats and banana. It's perfect for babies, toddlers & everyone else!
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats (NOTE 1)
- 3 medium overripe bananas (roughly chopped) (NOTE 2)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp mild olive oil (or light)
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup (optional) (NOTE 3)
- 1 tbsp melted butter or oil (to grease)
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle maker to 200°C (390°F). Place all the ingredients in the blender except the melted butter. It is best to place the oats near the blades so it's first to be processed. Blitz until you can no longer see any rolled oats. You may need to scrape the sides of the blender and process it again. The batter should be slightly thick.
- Once the waffle maker comes to temperature, brush the grill plates with melted butter to prevent the waffles from sticking. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each waffle and cook for 5 minutes or until cooked through. Repeat the same steps with the remaining batter.
Notes
(NOTE 1) Rolled oats (Old-fashioned oats) - Husked oat groats that are steamed and flattened. They're lightly processed and highly nutritious.
(NOTE 2) Bananas are the key ingredients that add sweetness to these waffles, so it's best to use overripe bananas for better-tasting waffles.
(NOTE 3) Maple syrup - Our baby's nurse advised us not to feed Kai any sweeteners (even natural sweeteners) before 12 months, including maple syrup. Kai was happily eating these waffles when he was 8 months old, with no sweeteners. If you do use maple syrup, use pure maple syrup.
Leftovers - Allow the waffles to cool completely at room temperature. Transfer the waffles into an airtight container and refrigerate. It'll be good for up to 3 days. Frozen waffles will keep for up to 2 months.
