Plantain Waffles (with Whipped Cashews)

⚽ World Cup 2018 Game 13 – Belgium vs. Panama

When the waffle maker comes out to play, it’s going to be a good day. Belgian waffles get a gluten-free Panamanian boost by the use of plantain flour and an airy whipped cashew topped high like Fellaini‘s hair.  No syrup is required but a dark belgian chocolate drizzle helps to start off any morning on the right goal-scoring foot.
