Rainbow waffles















Started with a box mix prepared according to the waffle directions, but you can use your favorite waffle recipe. Divided the batter and then colored it with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple food coloring.

** don't evenly divide the batter...you need way more red and orange than you do blue and purple so divide and color your batter accordingly or you may end up eating a blue and purple waffle while your kiddos enjoy their rainbow ones!























Quickly and carefully add the colored batter to your warmed {ROUND} waffle iron. It's easiest to start in the center with a small circle of the purple and work your way to the outside with the colors making rings around the center. The batter will spread a little, just make sure to work quickly and get the circle sort of right! I think this would be easiest using squeeze bottles or maybe even putting the batter in ziploc bags, but if your are in a hurry, spooning the batter onto the waffle iron worked just fine too!


















Close the lid of your waffle iron and let them cook.
When you take your waffle out of the waffle iron it will look kind of like a tie dyed mess. The beauty of using a circle waffle iron to make these is that all you have to do to turn this mess into a rainbow is cut the waffle in half!


















Add a few whipped cream clouds and get ready for the kiddos to squeal with excitement... 

I know what we will be having for breakfast
