In a mini food processor, or blender mix egg, milk, spinach or kale and banana until greens are finely shredded.
Pour into remaining ingredients, except chocolate chips. Mix until incorporated, but do not over mix. Stir through chocolate chips.
Pour batter into prepared donut pan. Bake 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from pan.
To steam the milk: Place in a microwave safe mug for 45 seconds or until hot, or you can warm in a small sauce pan on the stove until warm. Do not allow milk to boil.
Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend ingredients together for 5-10 seconds, carefully since steam will expand. Pour into a coffee mug. Enjoy!
If you are a matcha newbie, I recommend getting the Matcha Green Tea Latte powder from Trader Joe's and skipping the maple syrup. The Matcha adds an amazing flavor but if you don't have any on hand, you can brew the green tea of your choice and sub it for the milk in the recipe.
Place all ingredients except milk into a large bowl. Start by adding 1/4 cup of milk and mixing all ingredients together. Depending on how much water is retained in the potatoes will influence how much milk you will need. Add additional milk up to 3/4 cup. Batter should be thick.
Pour batter into waffle iron, wait to cook. Remove immediately and serve warm. Or allow to cool and put into freezer bags for busy mornings. Cooked frozen waffles can be reheated in a toaster.
Recipe Notes
To make sweet potato puree: You will need 1-2 medium sized sweet potatoes. Wash and peel sweet potatoes. Place prepared potatoes in a medium size pan, cover with water, and place on the stove. Bring pan to a boil and continue to boil until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Cut sweet potato just enough to put into a food process or blender. Add a little bit of reserved water until sweet potatoes are creamy.
