Ingredients
- ¾ cup GF pancake & waffle mix
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 2 strawberries
- 1 apple
- melted dark chocolate chips, optional for writing “abc…”
- heart food cutter, optional to make apple heart shapes
Instructions
- Prepare waffle mix according to package directions.
- Preheat waffle maker until hot and lightly spray with avocado oil. Place about 1/4 cup of the batter into the waffle maker using the back of a spoon to make sure entire surface is covered.
- Close the lid and let cook 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Use a fork to carefully lift the waffle onto a plate and set aside.
- Prepare cut-outs: cut the stem and tip off a strawberry and then cut in half to form two U shapes. Cut an apple slice in half, then cut into 2 triangular shapes to form the tips of the pencils. If using heart cut-outs, use the remaining apple slices to make them.
- Prepare the waffles; first cut in half down the center. Next, cut-off the rounded side of each waffle. Finally, trim off the top and bottom of each waffle; you should have two equal rectangles.
- To form the pencils, place a small amount of peanut butter on the bottom edge of each waffle and stick on the apple triangles. Attach a chocolate chip to the bottom with peanut butter to form the tip of the pencil. Add the strawberry rounds to the top of each waffle to form the pencil’s eraser.
- Serve with whipped cream, additional fruit and/or chocolate.
Equipment
