Ingredients
- 1½ cups rolled oats
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup milk any type
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Add rolled oats, spinach, banana, milk, egg, coconut oil (or melted butter), vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, and honey (or maple syrup) to a blender.
- Blend until the mixture becomes a smooth waffle batter.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes so the oats absorb the liquid.
- Preheat a waffle maker and lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray.
- Pour enough batter into the waffle iron to cover the surface evenly.
- Cook for 4–5 minutes or until the waffles are golden and crisp.
- Carefully remove the waffles and place them on a cooling rack for a minute to maintain crispness.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Blend the oats thoroughly so the batter becomes smooth and well combined.
- Allowing the batter to rest briefly helps the waffles hold together better.
- Avoid overfilling the waffle maker to ensure even cooking.
- Cooked waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster for quick breakfasts.
