02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Blend and Cook Waffles

Start by heating up your waffle iron so it’s ready to go. In a blender, toss together the eggs, spinach, oats, cottage cheese, applesauce, chia seeds, and baking powder. Blend everything until it’s nice and smooth – this might take about five minutes. Once your waffle iron is hot, pour in some of the batter, depending on the size of your iron, and cook each waffle until they turn golden brown and the steam slows down, which usually takes around five minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter, and enjoy your green-packed waffles!

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Make sure your waffle iron is well-heated before pouring the batter to get crispy edges.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
- If the batter is too thick, add a little milk to reach the right consistency.

Why you’ll love it

These waffles are a fun way to add more greens to your breakfast. They have a subtle earthy flavor and vibrant color that makes your meal more exciting. Plus, they are a great way to sneak in extra nutrients without sacrificing taste.

Serving ideas

Serve these waffles with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and a dollop of yogurt for a balanced meal. They also pair well with avocado slices or a side of scrambled eggs for a savory twist.

Storage & leftovers

Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. To reheat, pop them in a toaster or oven to keep them crispy. You can also freeze them for longer storage and toast directly from frozen.
