According to FSSAI, oats and ragi are a perfect combo during winter because they give you slow-burning energy and a load of natural minerals. Ragi in particular is a real powerhouse; it’s packed with calcium and iron, which means it does wonders for bone strength. Plus, oats keep digestion in check and keep everyone fuller for longer. They blend so easily into the batter that the flavour doesn’t change much, so you still get to enjoy that waffle taste everyone knows and loves.

Then there are the winter fruits, bananas, oranges, apples, and berries, which, according to a study, bring natural sweetness and antioxidants to the table. Adding them to the batter or using them as a topping is a great way to boost the nutrition without having to fuss over complicated recipes. And as a bonus, they bring a dose of vitamin C, which can only be a good thing in the colder months when it’s more important than ever to keep your immune system up to scratch

But one of the things that really makes healthy waffle recipes so great is how flexible they are. Some people love the nutty flavour of almonds and walnuts, while others are more into the idea of warm spices like cinnamon or cocoa. The good news is that you can easily mix and match to create your perfect waffle. They are not just limited to breakfast; they can be a great quick snack or even a fun treat for a school morning or weekend breakfast
