Ingredients

½ cups Diamond of California® Chopped Pecans (60 g)
1 cup Bob's Red Mill Organic Unbleached All Purpose White Flour (135 g)
1 cup Organic Whole Wheat Flour (150 g)
3 Tbsp Sugar (12 g)
1 tsp Kosher Salt
1 ½ tsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Baking Soda
1 ½ cups Milk (360 mL)
2 Eggs (100 g)
3 Tbsp unsalted Butter, melted (45 g)

Instructions

Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
To toast the pecans, preheat the oven to 350ºF. Add pecans to a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The pecans will be lightly toasted and fragrant when done.
Carefully remove the warm nuts to a cutting board, chop finely and add to a medium bowl.
To the pecans, add flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Whisk then set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla extract. Add dry ingredients and whisk until just incorporated; do not overmix.
Portion batter by ¼ cup scoops onto the preheated waffle maker and cook 5-6 minutes until golden and crisp. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
