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)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)

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

1. In a large bowl, mash the banana and whisk in eggs, milk, vanilla, and maple syrup.
2. Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, and mix until smooth.
3. Let the batter rest while you preheat your waffle maker.
4. 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

5. Scoop Greek yogurt into one bowl.
6. Add nut butter to a second bowl and thin with a little warm milk if needed for drizzling.
7. In a third bowl, blend fresh or thawed berries until smooth to make a berry puree.

To Serve

8. Arrange waffle dippers on a plate or tray.
9. Set out the three dips and let kids dunk, swirl, and taste-test their favorites.
10. Optional: top dips with coconut flakes, chopped fruit, or sprinkles for extra fun.
