Spinach and Cheese Waffles Recipe

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time25 minutes
Servings: 5 mini waffles

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, squeezed to remove excess water
  • 2 tablespoons melted salted butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Turn your waffle maker on to preheat.
  • In a large bowl, mix together flour, cheese, spinach, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
  • Add in the milk and melted butter, stirring until a thick batter forms (it will be thicker than pancake batter—don’t worry, that’s normal!).
  • Spray your waffle maker with oil or butter.
  • Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter into the waffle maker, close, and cook until crispy and golden brown.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter.

Serve warm with yogurt, sour cream, or enjoy plain!

    Notes

    Tips & Variations

    • Try swapping the spinach for finely chopped broccoli or zucchini.
    • Use mozzarella, cheddar, or a cheese blend depending on your preference.
    • Freeze cooled waffles in a zip-top bag for up to 2 months; pop them in the toaster to reheat.
