21 DAY FIX BANANA BREAD WAFFLES (WITH SPINACH)

So, I am apparently obsessed with pancakes and waffles.  Maybe because it’s one of the few things I can get my son to eat (autistic kids tend to limit their eating to only a few foods) so I want to make them as healthy as possible.  Also, because I am on the 21 Day Fix, I decided to adapt this recipe just a little to find out the appropriate containers to count per serving without compromising the original recipe too much.    These waffles are super yummy and as a veggie hater, I promise you will NOT taste the spinach.  Even my kids eat them, although when they ask why they are green, I just call them Shrek waffles and move on.  So, here we go.

 

21 DAY FIX BANANA BREAD WAFFLES
(WITH SPINACH)

(Makes 3 waffles)

1 yellow container of Oat Flour (I just grind up oats in the blender and then measure)

1 yellow container of Whole Wheat Flour

1 tsp. baking powder

½ tsp. baking soda

¼ tsp salt

8 oz of milk (I use non-fat buttermilk, but you can use almond or skim milk if you choose)

1 egg

1 ½  green containers of baby spinach

1 ½  very ripe large banana

1 Tbsp coconut oil, melted

 

Heat up your waffle iron.  This is a super easy dump it all in and whisk together recipe.  As I said, I grind up oats in the blender.  They do not have to be blended so much that they are as fine as flour.  Just a few seconds is usually enough.  After you blend them, measure 1 yellow container of oats and pour in a large bowl.  Now add your yellow container of whole wheat flour.  Add baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Now, get out your blender again.  Add milk of choice, 1 and ½  containers of spinach and your 1 and ½ bananas.  Blend until smooth.  Add this to dry mixture.  Add egg and Tbsp of coconut oil.  Whisk together until there are no dry spots.  Expect the mixture to be lumpy because of the oats. 

Now, make your waffles.  It does take these a tad bit longer to cook for some reason, but they are worth the wait.  Mine cook in about 85 seconds.  Yes, I am a dork.  I use the timer on my microwave.  I don't trust that little light thingy on my waffle iron. 

Serve with 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup (I also love with a tsp of peanut butter mixed with syrup) or whatever toppings you desire.  Just make sure to count the appropriate containers.

Container Count Per Waffle:

1 Yellow

1/2 Green

1/2 Purple
