Ingredients

• 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
• 0 as needed Non-stick 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 mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

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

Step 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.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 10

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