Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.75 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened (for maple pecan butter)
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 0.25 cups Pecans, toasted and finely chopped
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 as needed Cooking spray or melted butter (for waffle iron)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

Step 5

To make the maple pecan butter, combine the softened butter, maple syrup, chopped pecans, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and set aside at room temperature.

Step 6

Lightly grease your waffle iron with cooking spray or a thin layer of melted butter.

Step 7

Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (refer to your waffle iron’s instructions for quantity) and close the lid.

Step 8

Cook the waffles until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes, or as directed by your waffle iron.

Step 9

Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 10

Serve the warm waffles with a generous dollop of maple pecan butter on top. Add extra maple syrup if desired.
