Why These Waffles Work So Well
Here’s what makes them a go-to in our house:
- Quick and easy: we’re talking 10 minutes, tops
- No added sugar: sweetened with banana and blueberries
- Great texture for babies: super soft and easy to chew
- Freezer-friendly: make a batch and you’re set for days
- One blender, one waffle iron: minimal cleanup
Whether you’re doing baby-led weaning or just need a new breakfast idea for your toddler, these waffles are super versatile.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 1/4 cup blueberries (about 20 g)
How to Make Blueberry Banana Waffles: Step-by-Step
If you’re a visual person like me, I’ve included brief visual guidelines below. Detailed instructions along with exact ingredients will be provided in the printable recipe card below!
1. Preheat your waffle iron
Turn it on while you prep so it’s hot and ready to go. Toss all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Yep, even the oats. It’ll look like pancake batter.
2. Lightly grease the waffle iron
I like to use avocado oil to keep things from sticking.
3. Cook the waffles
Pour the batter into your waffle maker (I usually do about 1/4 cup per waffle), close it, and cook for about 3 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when they’re golden and cooked through.
4. Cool slightly and serve
Let them cool a bit before handing them off to your little one. Cut into strips for babies or serve whole for toddlers who love to hold their own food.
Tips
- Make ahead: Freeze extras and just pop them in the toaster or microwave when you need a quick meal. Total lifesaver.
- Allergy-friendly: These work great with dairy-free milk or a flax egg if needed.
FAQ
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Totally. Just add them after blending the rest of the ingredients to avoid turning the batter purple.
Can I skip the egg?
Yep. Try a flax egg or 1/4 cup of applesauce.
What milk should I use?
Anything works—breast milk, formula, dairy, or plant-based milk like oat or almond.
