Healthy Waffles (or maybe not!)

I was sent a Nutri Snack Waffle Stick Maker and so far I’m really happy with it. It’s fairly small so easy to store away in the cupboard and lit makes fabulous delicious waffles.

The Nutri Snack Waffle Stick Maker is pushed as a healthy snack maker and comes with a recipe book full of healthy alternatives to the sweet and sugary waffles that you are probably more familiar with. You can make all sorts of waffles with vegetables, fruits and because you are making sticks rather than full size waffles they are a much healthier snack.

I’ve never had a waffle maker and my kids are more familiar with potato waffles rather than these flour based ones and it was something new to try. So, I pushed the healthy recipes aside for the moment and looked up a classic waffle recipe to try.

The batter was whisked up in a whizz and I started filling up my waffle stick maker.

Just a few minutes later and I was rewarded with these golden and crispy waffle sticks. The kids loved them! Everybody loved them and they soon started raiding the cupboards for things to dip them in. I’d like to tell you here that they were healthy dips but I’m afraid the favourites where chocolate spread, golden syrup and maple syrup!

There are so many waffle recipes to try and the waffle maker is so quick and easy to use, I’m thinking it’s going to be our favourite snack maker.

If you do want a more healthier waffle recipe, and I’m definitely going to try this one, you can read how to make Slimming World Cinnamon Waffles. This is a recipe for baking in the oven, but I could see it working in my waffle maker.
