Anyone for waffles? In my house waffles is a staple on the weekend. We keep switching between sweet and savoury ones though. There is something very satisfying about biting into these crisp checkered pieces of food. So while there are tons of healthy sweet waffle recipes, we wanted to share a savoury high-fibre waffle sandwich with you today.
When a parent mentions words like fibre and protein, kids immediately feel they are being made to eat something that won’t taste good. We’re sure your kids are bored with the same old cucumber and jam sandwiches. So why not give these healthy waffles sandwiches a try. The best part is that it contains a fibre-rich ingredient that they will be none the wiser about and are just going to love.
These crisp waffle sandwiches are a great option for your child’s school lunch box or as an evening snack when they get home from the park. The stuffing has all the right healthy ingredients and its simple to put together.
We have added a secret ingredient you would never expect in a sandwich as a filling. Curious? Check out the recipe video and start cooking.
