Ingredients

1 cup oat milk
1 cup packed baby spinach
2 tsp chia seeds (soaked in 1/4 cup warm water)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 pitted dates
1 cup oat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp hempseeds
1/4 cup dairy free mini chocolate chips

Instructions

In a blender, combine oat milk, spinach, soaked chia seeds, vanilla extract and dates. Blend it smooth and keep it aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine oat flour, baking powder, salt and hempseeds. Mix it well with a spoon.
Stir in blended spinach to the flour mixture and whip it into a batter.
Fold in chocolate chips to the batter and mix twice or thrice.
Preheat your waffle iron/waffle maker. Greasing is optional depending on your waffle maker. Pour 1/2 cup of the batter at its center and roughly spread the batter with the back of a spoon. Do not over spread the batter. Close the lid and let it cook as per the manufacturer's instructions on the waffle maker manual.
Once done open the lid and gently scoop it with a flat spatula. Place it on a plate. Repeat the above steps for the rest of the batter.
Garnish as desired and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to follow your manufacturer instructions to work with your waffle iron/waffle maker.
My waffle maker has a green light indicator so I remove the waffles from it once the green light is on.
When measuring spinach make sure to pack your cup with it. Do not measure it loosely.
Chia seeds should be soaked until it forms jelly like consistency. Also, when pouring it in the blender make sure to stir it once to activate the chia seeds.
This recipe makes 4 medium sized waffles and the serving size is 1 waffle per person.
