- 1 cup packed fresh spinach (or thawed frozen, squeezed)
- 1/2 cup green beans (steamed & finely chopped)
- 2 eggs (or 2 flax/chia eggs for vegan)
- 3/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 cup flour all-purpose, buckwheat, oat, or gluten-free substitute
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (or vegan butter)
- 1 small garlic clove (optional)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Black pepper to taste
Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled feta, goat cheese, or shredded cheddar (or vegan cheese)
Instructions
- Steam green beans until tender but still bright green, then chop finely.
- Blend spinach, eggs (or flax eggs), milk, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth and bright green.
- In a bowl, mix flour and baking powder. Pour in the green blend and stir gently. Fold in green beans and cheese if using. Let batter rest 10 minutes.
- Preheat waffle iron and grease if needed. Pour batter to fill molds without overflowing. Cook 4–6 minutes until golden and firm.
- Serve hot as is or with your favorite toppings.
Vegan Version Tips
- Replace eggs with flax/chia eggs (1 tbsp ground flax/chia + 3 tbsp water per egg, sit 5–10 mins).
- Use any plain, unsweetened plant milk.
- Use olive oil, vegan butter, or avocado oil.
- Try vegan cheese or nutritional yeast if you want a cheesy flavor, or leave it out.
