Description

These Blender Green Smoothie Waffles combine the nutritious goodness of a green smoothie with the indulgent comfort of waffles. Packed with fresh spinach, ripe bananas, and strawberries blended smoothly into the batter, these waffles are a wholesome and delicious breakfast option. Made with whole wheat and all-purpose flour, Greek yogurt, and natural sweeteners like maple syrup, they offer a balanced flavor that both kids and adults will love. Quick to prepare using a blender and a waffle maker, they deliver fluffy, vibrant waffles loaded with nutrients.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups fresh spinach (packed, about 1 ½ ounces)
  • 2 medium very ripe bananas
  • 4 medium strawberries (or 2 ounces frozen strawberries)
  • 1 ½ cups milk (whole milk recommended)
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup coconut oil (melted)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Blend the greens and fruits: Add fresh spinach, ripe bananas, strawberries, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a blender. Use a high-powered blender for best results. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform.
  2. Add eggs and fats: To the blended mixture, add the eggs, melted coconut oil, ground flaxseed, baking powder, and salt. Blend again until just combined to integrate the wet ingredients seamlessly without overmixing.
  3. Incorporate the flours: Add the white whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour into the blender. Pulse or blend for a few seconds just until the flour is mixed in; avoid over-blending to keep waffles light and fluffy.
  4. Rest the batter: Let the batter sit while you preheat your waffle maker; this allows the baking powder to activate and bubbles to form for fluffier waffles.
  5. Cook the waffles: Pour the batter into a preheated waffle maker and cook following the manufacturer’s instructions. Typically, each waffle takes about 6-7 minutes to cook. Waffles are done when the steam diminishes significantly and the edges are golden brown.
  6. Serve or keep warm: Serve the waffles immediately for the best texture and flavor. Alternatively, you can keep finished waffles warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven while you cook the remaining batter.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better flavor blending.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute milk and Greek yogurt with almond or oat milk and coconut yogurt respectively.
  • Do not over-blend the batter after adding flours to avoid tough waffles.
  • Adjust cooking times according to your waffle maker’s specific heating and timing.
  • Add toppings like fresh berries, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup to enhance flavor.
