Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup spinach (fresh or frozen)

1 ripe banana

1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 large egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Pinch of salt

For Topping (optional):

Fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, etc.)

Sliced bananas

Nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter, etc.)

Maple syrup or honey

Chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Make the waffle batter: In a blender or food processor, combine the rolled oats, spinach, banana, almond milk, egg, vanilla extract, cinnamon, honey (if using), baking powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. The batter should be thick but pourable. Add more milk if needed to reach the desired consistency.
  2. Preheat the waffle iron: Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
  3. Cook the waffles: Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, cooking for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust cooking time based on your waffle iron and desired crispiness.
  4. Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the waffles from the iron. Top with fresh berries, sliced bananas, nut butter, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Add chopped nuts for extra crunch and protein.
  5. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the nutritious and delicious waffles!

Notes

Add a spoonful of Greek yogurt to the batter for extra creaminess and protein.

Use frozen mixed berries in the batter for a burst of fruit flavor.

Add a tablespoon of flax seeds or chia seeds for extra fiber and omega-3s.

Substitute spinach with other greens like kale or swiss chard for variety.

Mix in protein powder for a post-workout boost.
