- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt

For the Spiced Bourbon Whipped Cream:

Instructions
For the waffles:
- In a blender, beat the eggs, milk, vanilla and oil until frothy.
- In a large bowl, stir all of the dry ingredients together until well mixed. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour the wet mixture into the well, then stir just until the mix is moistened. Avoid over-mixing. Gently fold in the chopped pecans.
- Spray your waffle iron with nonstick spray, and spoon batter onto a hot waffle maker and cook until golden brown.
- Serve with a pat of butter, the butter pecan maple syrup and the spiced bourbon whipped cream.
For the Butter Pecan Maple Syrup:
- In a small saucepan over medium high heat, bring all ingredients, except the pecans, to a steady simmer then reduce the heat to medium low and allow to cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the toasted pecans at the end. Remove from heat and serve on top of your waffles.
For the Bourbon whipped cream:
- In a stand mixer, or with an electric hand-mixer, combine the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, and bourbon in a bowl except the cinnamon and nutmeg and whip until soft peaks form, about 3 to 5 minutes. Don’t over-mix or it’ll turn into butter.
- Once it’s ready, sprinkle a tiny bit of cinnamon and nutmeg and stir by hand to incorporate. Serve on top of your waffles.
- This can be made a day or two in advance.
