Notes
Yield - 12 toddler size or 24 baby size waffles
Storage - 5 days in fridge or 3 months in freezer
Oats - quick oats are ideal in this recipe so the grain isn't too big for baby to chew. If you want to use old-fashion oats, give them a quick blitz in food processor so they are half the original size.
Sweet Potato Puree - You can use homemade or store bought sweet potato puree in this recipe. You can also use any puree you have on hand - apple, carrot, pumpkin, squash, peach, etc. Or sub in homemade or store bought applesauce.
