Who can resist the irresistible flavor of homemade waffles?! I know I can eat them any time of the day. I’m always on a mission to create fun breakfast ideas for my son. He loves Fruity Pebbles and waffles so you can only imagine his face when he saw the “cereal waffle” on his plate!
Why this recipe works
- It’s a fun twist and a great way to use fruity pebbles! Adding cereal to waffles gives the waffle a nice texture.
- This is 100 precent toddler approved!
- Just like my Fruit Loop Mochi Waffles and my Perfectly Chewy Ube Mochi Waffles, Fruity Pebbles waffles are perfect for holidays such as Easter, Christmas or just because.

Ingredients
- Gluten Free Flour. I use 1:1 from Bob’s Red Mill or Trader Joe’s. If you don’t need it to be gluten free, regular all purpose flour can be used.
- Ground cornmeal. This gives the edges of the waffle a lovely crisp texture.
- Fine sea salt.
- Baking powder.
- Organic cane sugar. Regular white sugar would work.
- Fruity Pebbles cereal. This is the star ingredient!
- Milk. Use your favorite type of milk. I use 2% but whole milk or plant based milk will be good also.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- Eggs.
- Pure vanilla extract.
- Sweet maple syrup. Optional garnish.
- Seasonal fruit toppings. Optional garnish.
How to make Fruity Pebble Waffles
Step One: Gather Dry Ingredients: Preheat the waffle maker on medium low heat. In a large mixing bowl, add the gluten free flour and the corn meal. Then add the baking soda, salt, and cane sugar.
Step Two: Add the Cereal: Give it a quick stir with a whisk and then add the Fruity Pebbles. Gently combine.
Step Three: Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, add the wet ingredients. Gently stir and then add to the dry ingredients.
Step Four: Cook The Waffles: When the waffle maker is ready, give it a quick spray with cooking spray and add about 1/3 cup of the batter. Please Note: I use a Belgium Waffle Maker so it can hold a little more batter than the smaller waffle makers. Adjust accordingly. Cook the waffle until done. The waffle should be a nice golden brown/yellow.
Step Five: Garnish and Serve: Serve immediately with a drizzle of syrup and fresh fruit.
Storing leftovers
Let the waffles cool completely on a wire rack or sheet pan. Wrap the waffles in parchment paper. Then place the waffles in a freezer safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. A large freezer bag also works. Reheat in the microwave for up to 45 seconds.
Pro tip: Make mini waffles and store them in smaller individual sandwich bags in the freezer for easy meal prep!
Helpful tips
- One thing you want to think about when cooking these Fruity Pebbles Waffles is the serving size. The serving size will depend on what kind of waffle iron you are using. I use a large Belgium waffle maker and it makes 4 waffles.
- To keep the waffle crisp, do not stack them when they are hot.
Have a sheet pan ready with some parchment paper on top, and place and space the waffles out. Let them cool completely and then you want to store them in freezer safe zip lock bags. I normally use the smaller sandwich bags and then I put a 1/2 waffle in it. This is good for when your family wants smaller portions. Also you can wrap them in parchment (also if you are stacking them in the bag) and then place them in the freezer bag, but this isn’t necessary especially if you plan to consume them within a couple of weeks.
Another great way to freeze waffles is to use a glass food storage container, such as Snapware. You can line it with parchment paper and layer in 2 waffles. I like the 4 cup square container as it holds the waffles nicely.
They will remain good in the freezer for 3 months.
How do I reheat frozen waffles?
You want to use the microwave and reheat for 30-60 seconds. You can also use your toaster oven or a regular oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.
Serving suggestions or alternatives
Some delicious toppings for these waffle is fruit. I suggest blueberries, strawberries or banana but ones imagination can run wild when it comes to a waffle bars and toppings!
