We love getting veggies at breakfast any way we can and waffles are so much fun, but don’t stop at breakfast. These savory waffles/pancakes would also be delicious for dinner with a fried egg or some smoked salmon.

Make ahead and freeze in single serve portions and reheat in the toaster as you would any frozen waffles.

Ingredients

1 ¾ cups whole wheat or spelt flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup ricotta
2 cups milk
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 ½ cups kale, chopped
Garnish: 1 teaspoon silan or maple syrup or honey and pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes

Preparation

In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, cayenne and nutmeg. Make a well in the center and add ricotta, milk, eggs, and butter. Mix the wet ingredients and then incorporate the dry ingredients. Add the kale and parmesan and mix again.
Heat a waffle iron or griddle for pancakes (use a bit of oil if it is not non stick) and measure out ½ cup batter per portion. Cook until golden brown, flipping halfway through for pancakes.
Serve drizzled with silan and sprinkled with cayenne.
