Blend the following ingredients in a heavy duty blender:
2 cups water
1 cup quick or regular rolled oats (gluten-free oats if necessary)
1/4 cup millet or organic corn polenta or rice
1/4 cup flax seed
1/4 cup your choice of rinsed raw cashews, pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds or soaked beans or lentils
1 date
1/2 teaspoon salt
Blend for about 1 minute then pour into preheated waffle iron. Bake until most of the steam stops rising and waffle is golden brown. ( this can take from 3-12 minutes depending on the iron) If the waffles stick and can't be removed easily, wipe the irons with a paper towel that has a dab of liquid lecithin on it. The paper can be reused multiple times.
One recipe makes about 6-8 squares. Repeating the recipe once for each person served is a good rule of thumb. These freeze well and can be re-warmed in the toaster. They make a good substitute for bread if one is on a gluten-free diet.
Serve with fruit sauce, fruit soup, or soft-serve fruit cream for a sweet breakfast; OR a creamy gravy for a savory breakfast.
