Cashew ‘N’ Oat Waffles

(Makes 4 servings)
Total Time: 22 min.
Prep Time: 10 min.
Cooking Time: 12 min.
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
½ cup raw cashews
1 dash sea salt
1 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted
1 cup water
1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup (or raw honey)
Nonstick cooking spray
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat waffle iron.
Place oats, cashews, and salt in food processor or blender; pulse until coarsely ground.
Add oil, water, and extract; pulse until well blended. Batter will be thick, but if it is as thick as paste, add 2 to 3 additional Tbsp. of water.
Pour ¼ of batter into waffle iron, lightly coated with spray; cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until waffle iron indicates waffle is cooked, or until waffle is cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
While the Cashew ‘N’ Oat Waffles are cooking, combine berries and maple syrup in a medium bowl. Slightly mash berries to release some juice.
Serve waffles topped evenly with berry mixture.
