Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder (low sodium)
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1.25 cups Milk (low sodium, unsweetened almond milk or regular)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Shredded low-sodium cheese
• 1 cup Spinach (fresh, chopped)
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper (finely diced)
• 0.25 cup Onion (finely diced)
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
• 0 Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in chopped spinach and red bell pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, low-sodium baking powder, and sugar.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, melted unsalted butter, and eggs until smooth.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

Step 7

Fold in the sautéed vegetable mixture, shredded low-sodium cheese, and parsley (if using) into the waffle batter.

Step 8

Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray.

Step 9

Spoon approximately 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the batter (depending on your waffle iron size) onto the iron, ensuring it spreads evenly.

Step 10

Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually 4-5 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 12

Serve the stuffed waffles warm, optionally garnished with additional parsley or a side of low-sodium yogurt or fruit.
