Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk (any type)
- 1 piece Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or melted butter
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh spinach leaves and milk. Blend until smooth and vibrant green.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
Add the blended spinach mixture, egg, olive oil (or melted butter), minced garlic, and Parmesan cheese (if using) to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron (following the iron's guidelines for quantity), close the lid, and cook until the waffles are crisp and golden, typically 4–5 minutes per batch.
Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with the remaining batter, regreasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.
Serve the spinach waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, or a fried egg, for a savory treat, or a drizzle of maple syrup for a sweet and savory contrast.
