Equipment
- Waffle Iron
Ingredients
- 4 oz baby spinach
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup unsweetened soy milk
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbsp maple syrup can use up to 6 tbsp if needed
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend, scrape down the side and blend again until smooth. Allow the waffle batter to sit for 5 minutes while you preheat the waffle iron.
- When the waffle iron is hot brush with oil or lightly spray with spray oil.
- Pour batter into the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's directions, approximately 5-6 minutes per waffle.
- When cooked through remove and repeat with remaining batter. Batter will make between 8-10 waffles depending on the size of the waffle iron being used.
- Serve topped with sliced banana, a drizzle of maple syrup, fresh berries, yogurt or any of your favorite waffle toppings.
- Store cooked waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Notes
- Batter can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Waffles can be covered and stored in the freezer for up to 1 month.
- Cooking times will vary depending on the waffle iron being used.
- The amount of waffles this batter will make will depend on the size and make of the waffle iron.
- To reheat waffles place them in a toaster and toast until hot.
- Fresh baby spinach leaves are best used in this recipe as the frozen spinach will add too much liquid.
- Any plant based or dairy milk can be used in this recipe.
- To make this recipe vegan friendly, substitute the eggs with 2 flax eggs (2 tbsps ground flaxseeds mixed with 5 tbsps water)
- Substitute the all purpose flour with gluten free flour to make these waffles gluten free.
- These waffles are not overly sweet, you may need to adjust sweetness to taste.
