Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.75 cups Raw cashews
- 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1.25 cups Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 piece Large egg
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Melted coconut oil (or butter)
- as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.
Add the rolled oats and raw cashews to a blender or food processor. Blend until they form a fine flour-like consistency.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat-cashew flour with the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk to blend the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil (or butter) until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Scoop the batter (about 1/2 to 2/3 cup, depending on your waffle iron size) onto the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nut butter, yogurt, or additional maple syrup.
