These scrumptious vegan waffles are topped with grilled nectarines, granola and maple cashew cream.
Topped with grilled nectarines, granola, and a silky maple cashew cream, these vegan waffles are absolutely scrumptious. You can enjoy them at breakfast or for dessert.
How to make the cashew cream
First, you will need to prepare the cashew cream. Soaking cashews can be time-consuming so to speed things up I use boiling water instead of cold water. Twenty minutes later the cashews are ready and all you have to do is to whizz them in a blender with some dairy-free milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, and salt until you have a smooth and silky cream.
How to make these vegan waffles
These vegan waffles are made without eggs and are a simple mixture of flour, baking powder, and a touch of sugar. The wet ingredients (dairy-free milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar and vanilla extract) are whisked in until you have a smooth batter without lumps. If the batter gets too lumpy, simply transfer it to the blender and blend it for 30 seconds or so until it is completely smooth.
When the batter is ready, you can start making the waffles. Make sure your waffle iron is well greased and spread some batter to cover 3/4 of the waffle plate. Close and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until crisp and golden. Conveniently, my waffle maker beeps to let me know the waffles are ready!
In the meantime, you can start grilling the nectarines. I use a cast iron griddle pan but you can also put them under the grill or on the barbecue.
To serve, top each waffle with a nectarine half, some cashew cream, a sprinkle of your favourite granola, and a few sprigs of mint. Enjoy!
