What You'll Need

1 cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped pecans

What to Do

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine maple syrup, butter, and 1 tablespoon vanilla. Cook until butter melts and syrup is warmed through; keep warm.
Preheat electric or stove top waffle iron. Coat with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, milk, remaining vanilla, and oil. Add to flour mixture, and whisk just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Pour 1/3 to 1/2 cup batter evenly onto waffle iron, but not all the way to the edges, as batter will spread when waffle iron is closed. Cook about 1-1/2 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove waffle from waffle iron with a fork. Repeat with remaining batter, spraying waffle iron with cooking spray between each waffle.
Serve waffles topped with syrup and sprinkled with pecans.
