Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- 4 applesauce pouches (3.2 oz each)
- 1 ½ cups milk (more if the batter is too thick)
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup oil
- ¼ cup maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions and grease it lightly with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the flour and baking soda to ensure they are evenly distributed.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, milk, eggs, oil, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract (if using), and cinnamon (if using) until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredient mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. If the batter is too thick, add milk a tablespoon at a time until reaching a pourable consistency suitable for your waffle maker.
- Cook Waffles: Spoon the batter into the preheated waffle maker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until waffles are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the waffles to cool slightly before serving. Cut them into strips or small pieces that are easy for babies to hold and safely eat.
- Optional Toppings: Serve the waffles plain or with baby-appropriate toppings such as yogurt or fresh fruit, depending on your baby’s age and dietary readiness.
Notes
- Adjust the milk quantity to achieve the perfect waffle batter consistency.
- Use whole-grain or gluten-free flour if preferred, adapting baking soda quantity accordingly.
- Maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon are optional and can be omitted for babies with sensitivities or allergies.
- Cut waffles into manageable sizes to prevent choking hazards.
- Always supervise babies while eating to ensure safety.
