These high iron beauties will be a hit with even your pickiest little one! They have a unique combo of oat flour, molasses and iron-fortified chia & oat organic infant cereal (did you know you can bake with it?)
Ingredients:
3/4 cup oat flour
1/4 cup Oat & Chia infant cereal
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp molasses
1 egg
1 cup milk (or fortified milk alternative, I used soy here)
2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions:
In a medium bowl add flour, cereal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl whisk the egg, milk, molasses, and melted butter together
Add wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mix until just incorporated
Lightly coat waffle iron with butter or cooking spray, pour 1/4 cup of the battle into your waffle iron and cook until golden brown
Top with fresh fruit and maple syrup. The excess batter can be frozen (and waffles can be frozen too!)
