Description
Quick and nutritious waffles made with shredded zucchini and blueberries, perfect for breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup shredded zucchini
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- Cooking spray or oil for the waffle iron
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar if using. Mix these dry ingredients well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; be careful not to over-mix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or oil. Pour enough batter onto the preheated iron to cover the surface, allowing for some spreading.
- Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown.
- Carefully remove the waffles when done and serve warm.
Notes
For added flavor, try incorporating spices like cinnamon. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
