Baked Mini Leprechaun Waffles
St. Patrick’s Day would be the perfect morning to make these Baked Mini Leprechaun Waffles. No waffle iron or syrup needed for these sweet treats! If your kids class is having a St. Patrick’s Day treat day these would be super easy to make for them.
Pro Tip:
For this recipe, you will need to use a Silicone Waffle Mold. When you try using a regular waffle iron using the green food coloring, it turns a weird color. It is best to bake these, to get the perfect look.

What a cute idea! I don’t know if I’d dip them in the chocolate myself, but maybe some good old maple syrup, or strawberries and whipped cream.
These are so cute. Pinned for later.

These look super yummy! I might order the can just to try them. I have a pan that makes ‘whoopie’ cookies and I was thinking of trying that pan just adjust the cooking time maybe so I don’t have to buy another pan. Do you think it will work?

I love these–so perfect for St. Patricks Day, but I would definitely make them and eat them anytime 🙂
