Instructions

  1. Prepare the flax egg by mixing ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken, creating a protein-packed egg substitute.
  2. If using fresh peas, steam until soft (about 5 minutes). If frozen, thaw before use for easier pureeing.
  3. In a blender or food processor, puree steamed/thawed peas until smooth. Add oat milk and blend briefly to combine into a creamy vegetable-based puree.
  4. In a large bowl, mix millet flour, gluten-free baking powder, and finely chopped mild rosemary.
  5. Add the pea puree mixture, flax egg, applesauce, and coconut oil to dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined into a smooth batter—avoid overmixing for soft texture.
  6. Preheat mini waffle iron and brush lightly with coconut oil for non-stick, tender waffles.
  7. Pour a small ladleful of batter onto the waffle iron, close lid, and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden and cooked through. Adjust time as needed per your waffle maker.
  8. Carefully remove waffles and cool on a wire rack. Repeat until batter is finished.
  9. Serve warm or cool completely; store leftovers in airtight container for up to 3 days refrigerated or freeze up to 1 month for quick snacks.
  10. Cut waffles into small finger-food-friendly pieces tailored to your toddler’s chewing ability to ensure safe self-feeding.
