Waffles for lunch? Yep, that’s what everyone says when I tell them
I make my girls waffles for lunch. Waffles don’t have to be full of sugar or covered in maple syrup and ice cream. I love making these savoury waffles because they’re a great alternative to bread and they’re super easy to make. I use a heart-shaped waffle maker, which adds to the fun.
TIPS
• If you want these to be warm in the kids’ lunchboxes wrap the hot waffles in foil.
• The batter for the waffles can be made the night before, however add an additional tablespoon of milk to the mix so it doesn’t become too thick overnight in the fridge.
Gluten free
Use gluten-free self-raising flour.
Dairy free
Sub in plant-based cheddar, milk and butter.
Fussy eaters
Feel free to adapt the veggies to suit your small person’s tastes.
Turn on the waffle maker so that it heats up while you are preparing the waffle batter.
Use a handheld blender or a protein/cocktail shaker to blend all the waffle batter ingredients till they’re all combined and almost thickshake-like. Set aside.
The waffle maker should be ready to go now, so add in the capsicum and onion and let them soften and sweat until they start to get a little colour, around 2–3 minutes.
Remember that these are super hot and need to cool down a little before you let your little humans get to them.
