Raspberry Almond Lunch Box Waffles
From: Lisa @ www.100daysofrealfood.com/
Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables is super important …and our kids should be no exception to this rule! So let’s start the school year off right by packing a wide variety of colorful produce in our children’s lunches – and I am not just talking about a rotation of apples, grapes and carrots.
Today we are talking about a fabulous (colorful) fruit option that holds up really well in the lunch box, and that’s berries! Not everything looks appealing after being tossed all around on the way to school, but I think berries hold up beautifully and they also work well in recipes. And let’s face it, berries by themselves are basically one of nature’s fast foods with no chopping or peeling required.
We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
Ingredients:
1 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 ½ cups milk
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 ripe banana
½ cup halved fresh raspberries
¼ cup sliced almonds
100% pure maple syrup, for serving
Instructions:
Preheat the waffle iron.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Make a well (hole) in the center of the flour mixture and drop in the eggs, milk and melted butter.
Stir to combine.
In a separate small bowl mash the banana with the back of a fork.
Carefully fold the banana into the batter along with the raspberries and almonds.
Cook the waffles according to manufacturer directions and either serve warm with pure maple syrup or use the waffle pieces as “bread” to make a cream cheese sandwich for the lunchbox.
