Equipment

  • Blender
  • Waffle maker
  • Freezer-safe storage bags or containers
  • Toaster or air fryer (for reheating)

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups oats
  • 1 handful baby spinach
  • 2 ripe bananas the riper, the sweeter
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp ground flax meal
  • 1 tbsp hemp seeds
  • ¾ cup milk plus more as needed
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Add the oats to a blender and blend until you reach a powdery, flour-like texture.
  • Add the remaining ingredients (spinach, bananas, cottage cheese, egg, flax meal, hemp seeds, milk, and salt) and blend until smooth. Add more milk as needed until the batter reaches a pancake-batter consistency.
  • Cook the batter in a waffle maker. Enjoy right away, or cool completely and store in freezer-safe storage bags.

Notes

  • No added sugar — the riper the bananas, the sweeter the waffles.
  • A great way to use up overripe bananas.
  • Reheats straight from frozen in the toaster or air fryer — no thawing needed.
  • Swap cottage cheese for plain Greek yogurt if needed (may need slightly less milk).
  • Batter also works as pancakes on a griddle if you don't have a waffle maker.
