Green Oatmeal Spinach Waffles

Recipe Description

These Green Oatmeal Spinach Waffles are a really healthy and delicious brunch recipe that the whole family will love. These waffles are my way of sneaking extra veggies into my children! They love that they are eating green waffles, and I love that they are eating spinach. Win-win!

These waffles are super simple to make too. Combine oats, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon in a blender and pulse until the oats resemble flour. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside. Combine banana, eggs, oil, maple syrup/honey, spinach, and vanilla and blend until completely smooth. Return the oat mixture to the blender and process until fully combined, scraping the sides of the blender as you go. Heat the waffle maker and brush with a little oil to prevent sticking. Once hot, pour in some batter onto your hot waffle maker. Cook until golden and crispy. Enjoy warm or cool!

Green waffles, great taste. Made these for brunch last week, my mates loved them. I felt clever sneaking in spinach without them knowing. Easy to prep and perfect with syrup. Definitely making again for our next get-together.
