Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1 TBSP. sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 4 oz. Monterey Jack cheese, freshly grated
- 4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- Toppings (optional): black forest ham, a fried egg, avocado, salsa, hot sauce
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat your waffle iron. Again, the appropriate heat setting will vary for each different waffle iron (I used heat setting 4 out of 6).
Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a bowl and whisk to combine. In a separate bowl, combine the egg, milk, and oil. Add to the flour mixture and stir gently until the mixture comes together. Fold in the cheese and the spinach. Spray the hot waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray (between each waffle) and cook waffles according to your waffle iron’s directions. Serve with your choice of toppings or straight off the iron. If you’re cooking for a larger group, keep waffles warm in the oven as you go. But they do taste best hot and fresh! Leftovers also reheat very well in the toaster or in the oven.
