Banana Spinach Oatmeal Waffles

A great hidden veggie recipe, these blender waffles have an entire cup of spinach! Potassium-rich banana and pure maple syrup sweeten these waffles, and except for the color, your kiddos will never even know the spinach is in there! Gluten-free (we use oat flour) and dairy-free, these waffles freeze well and are a great addition to your morning routine!

 2 cups sprouted rolled oats
 1 cup spinach
 1 banana
 2 eggs
 ½ cup milk
 ¼ cup + 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
 ¼ cup +2 tbsp liquid coconut oil
 2 tsp baking powder
 1 tsp vanilla extract
 1 tsp cinnamon
 ¼ tsp salt
1

Grease and preheat a waffle maker.

2

In a food processor, combine all ingredients (except for the chocolate chips and avocado oil) until smooth. Using a food processor produces a pancake with specks of green rather than using a high speed blender which produces a pureed batter that's completely green. The flavor is milder when using a food processor, but we enjoy both ways!

3

Let batter rest for 10 minutes so the oat flour can absorb the liquid and thicken. Add chocolate chips.

4

Pour 1 cup of batter into the waffle maker. Close the lid, flip over, and set a timer for 4 minutes. Remove waffle with a rubber spatula and repeat for remaining batter. Enjoy!
