Chocolate Zucchini Waffles (with spinach of course!)

After I made my Double Chocolate Muffins I started thinking about other things I could add zucchini to as well. My kids love waffles and have been really sad that we don't buy the big Sam's Club box of Eggo's anymore, so I decided to give chocolate zucchini waffles a try. I based my recipe off of  this one, which was already pretty good but she did use some white flour and brown sugar. I had to throw in some spinach of course and I usually always add some plain yogurt for moisture and protein. I also doubled it so I could freeze half of them, but my kids will most likely have them eaten by the end of the week so I will either need to get a bigger mixer so I can do a triple batch or just be prepared to make waffles once a week.

 

1 Med-Large Zucchini
1 Handful of Spinach
1/2 C plain Greek Yogurt
2 Eggs
1/4 C Honey or Coconut Sugar (I've done both)
1/4 C Coconut oil melted
1 Tsp Vanilla
1 3/4 C Almond Milk
1/2 C Cocoal Powder
1 tsp Cinnamon'
1/4 tsp Salt
1 Tbs Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1 1/2 C Whole Wheat /flour

Wash and cut the ends off of the zucchini. If using a food processor than you can just slice the zucchini, but if you are using a blendor it might be easier to grate it first.

Puree the zucchini, spinach, and yogurt in a food processor or high powered blender. Pour into a mixing bowl and add the rest of the ingredients. Mix all the ingredients together until well combined, but don't over mix.

This single recipe yields about 9 round waffles. As you can tell from the picture I have two different waffle irons and I can't believe I ever sat in the kitchen making one waffle at a time. Two is definitely the way to go!
