Toasted Pecan and Orange Waffles
These orange- pecan waffles are sure to make anyone smile. They are really tasty. They aren’t hard to make, either. They would make a great breakfast for any holiday or special occasion.
You can serve them just on their own, or perhaps with a side of crispy bacon or some breakfast sausage and some fresh fruit.
I started with my basic vanilla waffle recipe and had some fun with it. I enjoyed the combination of pecans with orange juice. Since it is citrus season, I used fresh squeezed juice, but bottled juice is just fine. Serve them with warm maple syrup, powdered sugar or perhaps orange marmalade..
Here is the recipe.
Toasted Pecan and Orange Waffles
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 t. orange zest
2 eggs
1 cup orange juice
½ c. milk
½ c. melted butter
1 T. vanilla
¾ c. toasted pecans, chopped*
Whisk together dry ingredients and set aside. Beat together remaining ingredients and add to dry ingredients mixing until smooth. Cook in a waffle iron until crisp.
* To toast the pecans, place on a baking sheet and bake in a 350-degree oven for about 10 minutes. Toast them before you chop them- smaller pieces can burn easily.

Orange Pecan Waffles
Was looking for something special for breakfast with a friend. Started with my basic vanilla waffle recipe and had some fun with it. I really enjoyed the combination of pecans with orange juice. Served them with warm maple syrup. There was one left over so I added it to Parker’s chicken for dinner. Yes, the dog got chicken and waffles for dinner!!! He was one happy dog.
