Super delicious glutenfree Coconut Oat Sweet Potato Waffles.
Suitable for BLW babies from 7 months providing no egg allergy.
There is so much goodness in these waffles and it’s the only way to get my kids to eat sweet potato. It was one of their favourite puree food when we did weaning but somehow their taste bud changed. 🙁
Why are sweet potato so good for you?
They are rich in beta carotid which is an antioxidant, a substance that is not only able to fight free radicals, substances that fight cancer. The more intense the colour, it has more antioxidant. Choose colourful sweet potato, especially the purple and red.
These waffles are fluffy and not too sweet which we like as we could top them with fruits of our choice or with nut butter. Our chosen toppings were strawberries for Big Bro, banana and chia seeds for Lil Bro, almond butter and hemp seeds for me. You can’t go wrong with toppings, the sky is your limit!
