Instructions

Prepare nuts and syrup
- For the peanuts, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Stir the peanuts with the maple syrup to coat and then spread them in a single layer on the prepared tray.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, until browned and bubbling. Once cooled, the maple syrup will set with a sweet, crispy coating.

Mix waffle mixture
- For the waffles, sift the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, maple syrup, oil and egg yolks together and stir this into the flour base (a few lumps are OK).
- In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites with electric beaters on high speed until they hold a soft peak when the beaters are lifted. Fold the whites into the batter in 2 additions.

Cook waffles
- Heat a waffle iron and cook the waffles according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Plate and Serve!

Serve the waffles warm, with a scoop of ice cream, a drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkling of the sweet & salty peanuts. Add a little fresh fruit, if desired.
