Notes

  • Contains milk (yogurt) and wheat (waffles). Frozen waffles can be a hidden source of common allergens, which include milk, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, fish, shellfish, soy, wheat, and sesame.
  • Sesame can appear as an ingredient in foods where it might not be expected (waffles) and may be included in the ingredient statements as “spice” or “flavoring.”
  • Do not overcook waffles. If waffles are too crispy, they will fall off the stick.
  • Recommend 6" lollipop sticks or 5½" apple sticks.
  • Optional: Serve without sticks. Place 6 strawberries and 4 waffle triangles on a plate. Serve ⅛ cup (2 Tbsp) maple-yogurt dip on the side.
  • Choking Risk: For children under the age of 4, you may want to cut whole strawberries in half.
  • For breakfast, you can credit the grains or meats/meat alternates in this recipe toward the reimbursable meal.
  • Yogurt must not contain more than 23 grams of total sugars per 6 ounces.
  • The symbol indicates the recipe is whole grain-rich.
  • Creditable grains contribution calculated using the Recipe Analysis Workbook, Method A
