Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Brazil nuts or cashew
- 3/4 cup boiling water
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup amaranth flour
- 1/3 cup arrowroot
- 2 tablespoons corn-free baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon powdered ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg (optional)
Directions
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.
