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)
• 0 as needed Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Add the rolled oats and raw cashews to a blender or food processor. Blend until they form a fine flour-like consistency.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Carefully remove the waffles from the iron. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.

Step 8

Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nut butter, yogurt, or additional maple syrup.
