Raise your hand if you have a waffle iron.
Anybody? Anybody?
I hope, for your sake, that’s a giant YES. And if you don’t have one, you should buy one. Or ask for one for your birthday, holidays, or whatever your next giftable holiday is gonna be. I don’t think Valentine’s Day counts, but that’s my two cents. (For me, that’d be Mother’s Day….HOLY.CRAP. That’s weird.)
Okay, on to a real question. What is your favorite part about spinach waffles?
If you are like me, your first answer is THE TOPPINGS! That is also my answer to pancakes and french toast. Why would you not want to eat food that you can smoother in butter, maple syrup, and fruit? It’s a dream combination. With a side of scrambled eggs. Because if you know me at all, I don’t eat breakfast without also eating eggs. This is why I would prefer to eat spinach protein waffles for lunch. Maybe because I’m crazy, maybe because I’m pregnant, I’m not gonna dig too deep into this one.
I understand that having a waffle iron is like, super domesticated. And that even if you have one, you maybe have never used it. We got one for our wedding, and I don’t think I took the plastic off until 8–10 months into the marriage. But once I did, I regretted not getting it out sooner. I mean, waffles are delicious. And did you know you can also cook muffin batter in them? I’ve done it. You can also put scrambled eggs in them. I’ve not yet done it, but Lindsay has.
While not all waffle recipes are the healthiest foods you can eat, there are certainly exceptions like these whole wheat applesauce waffles. Or today’s featured recipe, spinach protein waffles!
This batter couldn’t be easier to put together. All you gotta do is blend up spinach, oats, Greek yogurt, and egg, and some stevia, and you have yourself a real treat. Plus, you can’t really ever complain about a recipe that hides veggies!
Time to grab a fork and dive in!
