Indulge in the mouth-watering goodness of Pecan Ricotta Waffles. These fluffy waffles are made with a rich ricotta cheese batter and sprinkled with crunchy pecans. Serve them warm with maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful breakfast or brunch treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, ricotta cheese, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped pecans.
  5. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  6. Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter.
  7. Pour the batter onto the center of the waffle iron, spreading it slightly with a spatula.
  8. Close the lid of the waffle iron and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
  9. Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and transfer to a plate.
  10. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
  11. Serve the pecan ricotta waffles warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
