Preheat waffle iron and spray with cooking oil if needed.
Add the rinsed and drained chickpeas, pitted dates, oats, water, vanilla, cinnamon into a blender or food processor.
Blend until mixture is smooth and lump free.
Scoop out around 1/3 to 1/2 cup (varies depending on size of waffle iron) of batter into preheated waffle iron.
Cook until golden brown. (dependent on waffle iron brand but usually 4 or 5 minutes)
Repeat with remaining batter. Serve while warm with any desired toppings!
