Oatmeal Green Smoothie Waffles are a nutritious and delicious twist on classic banana waffles, packed with oats, fresh spinach, and protein-rich eggs. These waffles are perfectly blended in a blender for ease, naturally dairy-free, gluten-free when using certified oats, kid-approved, and freezer-friendly, making them an ideal healthy breakfast or snack option.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2½ cups rolled oats, uncooked (use certified gluten free if needed)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted + extra for greasing waffle iron
  • ¾ cup mashed ripe bananas (can substitute unsweetened applesauce)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
  • ½ tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup loosely packed spinach

Instructions

  1. Prepare oat flour: In your blender, combine the rolled oats, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Pulse until the oats are ground down to a fine flour-like consistency. Pour this oat flour mixture into a medium bowl and set aside.
  2. Blend wet ingredients: Using the now-empty blender, add the mashed bananas, eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup or honey, spinach, and vanilla extract. Blend on high until the mixture is very smooth and the spinach is completely pureed, with no chunks remaining.
  3. Combine mixtures: Pour the reserved oat flour mixture back into the blender with the wet ingredients. Blend again to combine thoroughly. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender once or twice to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Preheat waffle iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron plates with coconut oil or another oil to prevent sticking, if necessary.
  5. Cook waffles: Pour about ½ cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron. Close and cook for 4–6 minutes or until the waffle is golden brown and crispy on the outside. Cooking time may vary depending on your waffle iron.
  6. Keep waffles warm: Carefully remove cooked waffles from the iron and keep them warm by placing them on a baking sheet in a 200°F (93°C) oven while you finish cooking the remaining batter.
  7. Serve or store: Enjoy the waffles warm, or allow them to cool completely before storing in the refrigerator or freezer for later use.

Notes

  • Use certified gluten-free oats if you need to keep the recipe gluten-free.
  • You can substitute mashed ripe bananas with unsweetened applesauce for a different flavor.
  • The waffles freeze well; store cooled waffles in airtight containers or bags for up to 1 month.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey.
  • If your waffle iron is prone to sticking, be sure to grease it well before each batch.
