Amaranth Spice Waffles Recipe

Grind the Brazil nuts or cashews to a fine powder in a blender. Add enough water to bring the level up to 1 cup. Blend 30 seconds. Add the maple syrup or honey; blend again and set aside to cool to lukewarm. Then add the eggs.

In a large bowl, mix the flour, arrowroot, corn-free baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Pour in a the liquid mixture, and stir to mix.

Bake according to the directions included with you waffle iron, using about 1 cup of batter per waffle.

Variation: use 3 eggs for waffles that are just a little lighter in texture. Maple syrup gives a crisper texture than honey does. For extra-light and crispy waffles, separate the eggs. Add the yolks to the liquid in the blender. Beat the whites until stiff. Fold them into the batter just before baking.
