Vegan Waffles with Grilled Nectarines & Cashew Cream
Indulge in the delightful combination of crispy, golden waffles topped with sweet grilled nectarines. This vegan recipe offers a perfect balance of textures and flavours, making it an ideal choice for a special breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
How to make the cashew cream
First, you will need to prepare the cashew cream. To save time, soak the cashews in boiling water for about 20 minutes. Once softened, blend them with dairy-free milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. This luscious cashew cream adds a rich, velvety finish to your waffles.
How to make these vegan waffles
For the waffles, whisk together flour, baking powder, and a touch of sugar. In a separate bowl, mix dairy-free milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter. If the batter appears lumpy, blend it for 30 seconds to achieve a silky consistency.
Preheat your waffle iron and grease it lightly. Pour the batter onto the iron, covering about three-quarters of the surface. Close and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are crisp and golden brown.
Grilling the Nectarines
While the waffles are cooking, prepare the nectarines. Cut them in half and remove the pits. Heat a cast-iron griddle pan (or the BBQ) over medium heat and lightly grease it. Place the nectarine halves cut-side down on the pan and grill for about 2–3 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the fruit softens slightly.
Assembling the Dish
To serve, place each waffle on a plate and top with a grilled nectarine half. Drizzle generously with the cashew cream and sprinkle with your favourite granola for added crunch. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and enjoy!
