Ingredients
For the Waffles (or use store-bought):
- 1 cup oat flour or whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 ripe banana (mashed)
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

For the Dipping Trio:
- Greek Yogurt Dip: plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- Nut Butter Dip: peanut butter or almond butter (thinned with a splash of milk if needed)
- Berry Puree: blended strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries (add a touch of honey if desired)
Preparation Tips
- Mini waffle makers or regular waffles cut into strips work great.
- Make extra waffles and freeze them — they toast up great for future dipping adventures.
- Use sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
- For more texture, let kids sprinkle dips with granola, chia seeds, or mini chocolate chips.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Waffles
- In a large bowl, mash the banana and whisk in eggs, milk, vanilla, and maple syrup.
- Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, and mix until smooth.
- Let the batter rest while you preheat your waffle maker.
- Cook waffles according to your iron’s instructions (about 3–5 minutes), then cool slightly and cut into long strips or rectangles.
Step 2: Prep the Dips
- Scoop Greek yogurt into one bowl.
- Add nut butter to a second bowl and thin with a little warm milk if needed for drizzling.
- In a third bowl, blend fresh or thawed berries until smooth to make a berry puree.
To Serve
- Arrange waffle dippers on a plate or tray.
- Set out the three dips and let kids dunk, swirl, and taste-test their favorites.
- Optional: top dips with coconut flakes, chopped fruit, or sprinkles for extra fun.
