Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (low sodium)
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 0.5 cup shredded low-sodium cheddar cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 sliced avocado
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
- to taste black pepper, for seasoning
Instructions
Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, low sodium baking powder, ground black pepper, and garlic powder.
In another bowl, whisk the milk, melted unsalted butter, and egg until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Gently fold in the shredded low-sodium cheddar cheese and fresh spinach leaves.
Lightly spray the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron (amount called for depends on your specific waffle iron). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the waffles and allow them to cool slightly while you prepare the sandwich fillings.
To assemble each sandwich, layer slices of avocado, tomato, and shredded cooked chicken breast on one waffle.
Top with another waffle to create a sandwich.
If desired, season the fillings lightly with black pepper to taste before closing the sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
