Cashews, dates and oats are three of the most ubiquitous ingredients in the plant-based repertoire. Combine all three to make the quintessential waffle.
In a high-speed blender, blend 1 cup of water with the cashews until smooth.
2
Then, add the pitted dates, salt, and vanilla extract and blend until smooth.
3
Add the rolled oats and the remaining 1 ½ cup of water, and blend until smooth.
4
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes before making the first waffle.
5
Lightly spray PAM or olive oil on the surface of a heated waffle iron and then pour in ⅙ of the mixture.
6
Bake until the waffle is golden to dark brown, approximately 5 minutes. Note: due to the ingredients in the batter, each waffle may take a minute or two longer than usual to cook.
7
Repeat for all 6 waffles and enjoy with optional toppings.

Can I use walnuts, pecans or almonds, instead of cashews? I have those but no cashews at the moment. Edythe
Great, I’m gonna try to make one!
