Ingredients
  

  • Your favorite homemade waffle recipe or waffle mix
  • Gel food coloring in rainbow colors
  • Whipped cream
  • Rainbow sprinkles
  • Fresh fruit as garnish

Instructions
 

  • First, prepare your favorite waffle recipe from scratch or use a mix as we did. Then you'll separate your batter equally into 6 bowls. 
    After dividing the waffle batter, add a few drops of gel food coloring to each bowl to create the colors of the rainbow. Note gel colors are very potent so make sure you add them one drop at a time, mix and then decide if you want more vibrancy. 
  • Preheat your waffle iron, and spray it with non-stick cooking spray. If you have squeeze bottles at home, we recommend using them to carefully portion the waffle mix in rainbow order as we did.
    If you don't have squeeze bottles no need to run out and buy some. You can also use a spoon . Drop spoonfuls of the colored batter onto the waffle iron, alternating colors to create a rainbow effect.
    We started with pink out the outside then orange yellow green, blue and purple in the center.

    You don't have to follow this pattern of rainbow exactly. Experiment with drizzling all the colors onto the waffle maker. My kids LOVED the tie-dyed colorful effects this made! 
    Close the waffle iron and cook the waffles until they're cooked typically just a few minutes on medium to high heat, depending on our waffle maker brand 
    The bottom side will always look better than the top based on how waffle makers cook waffles! So when presenting your waffles, flip them onto a plate, with the nice side showing. 
  • Once your waffles are cooled, you can stack them on a plate and serve them with your favorite toppings.
    We added some simple whipped cream clouds, topped with rainbow sprinkles. 
    Garnish your plate with fresh fruit for a healthy and colorful touch!
