How to Make Whole Wheat Pecan Waffles

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup chopped pecans.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 ½ cups buttermilk, 1 large egg, ¼ cup melted unsalted butter, and 2 tablespoons maple syrup.
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Add enough milk (approximately ½ cup to 1 cup), a little at a time, until you achieve a smooth, pourable batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the batter overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
  6. The next morning, preheat your waffle iron. Lightly spray the grids with non-stick cooking spray.
  7. Stir the batter gently before pouring approximately ½ - ¾ cup onto the preheated waffle iron (depending on the size of your waffle iron).
  8. Cook according to your waffle iron's instructions, usually 3-5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream!
