  • Chopped Pecans – Top your waffles with chopped pecans to add a kick of sweet and buttery flavor.
  • Baking Powder – This waffle recipe used leavening agent, baking powder, which helps the batter turn light and fluffy as it cooks.
  • Cinnamon – Adding a tablespoon of cinnamon powder to the batter will lend a sweet and woody flavor with a slight citrusy note and it spicy taste.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Are waffle batter and pancake batter the same thing? 

While both batters use a similar ingredient base, they use different ratios. Waffle batter has more butter and sugar to create caramelization, providing the classic golden brown color. This waffle recipe is unique as it uses yeast as its leavening agent, rather than baking powder or soda. 

Why are my cinnamon pecan waffles never crispy?

Not waiting until the iron heats up properly means your waffles will cook, but never achieve that satisfyingly crisp exterior. Overworking the batter will leave your waffles dense and chewy instead of light and airy. And stacking even the most perfect waffles will cause them to become soggy and limp in minutes.

Should you let waffle batter rest?

Be sure to let the batter rest the full 30 minutes, and if they end up resting almost 40 minutes, that’s still fine. If you don’t let the batter rest, you get a full waffle less than if you wait, plus they’re more chewy and not as delicious. 30 minutes goes quickly while you’re getting the your toppings ready, etc.

How do you make waffles fluffier?

Yes, this sounds like a pain—but trust us, the end result is worth it. Whipped egg whites add extra air to the batter, guaranteeing waffles that’ll rise to their fluffiest potential. Use a handheld or stand mixer to make the job easy.

Conclusion

Cinnamon pecan waffles are perfect with your typical waffle garnishes of butter, syrup, and a dusting of powdered sugar. But they also pair well with fruit such as fresh blueberries or strawberries.

Also, a scoop of pan-fried apples is delicious with this cinnamon waffle recipe! If you liked this recipe, don’t forget to share your experience with us. Till then, happy eating!
