🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 units Eggs, large
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Pecans, chopped
• as needed Non-stick cooking spray or melted butter (for waffle iron)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few small lumps.

5. Fold in the chopped pecans gently to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.

6. Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.

7. Pour the recommended amount of batter (typically about 1/3 to 1/2 cup, but check your waffle iron's instructions) onto the center of the waffle grid. Spread slightly if needed.

8. Close the lid and cook the waffle according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crispy.

9. Carefully remove the waffle and place it on a cooling rack or plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.

10. Serve the waffles warm, topped with additional chopped pecans, a drizzle of maple syrup, and fresh fruit if desired.
