Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- Green food coloring (optional)
Directions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a blender, combine the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, spinach leaves, and green food coloring (if using). Blend until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense waffles.
- Preheat a waffle iron and lightly grease with cooking spray or melted butter.
- Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/2 cup of batter for each waffle. Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the green waffles warm with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
