Ingredients
  

  • 39 g (1.38 oz) 1 large egg, beaten
  • 30 g (1.06 oz) 1/4 cup finely ground pecans
  • 18 g (0.63 oz) 1 1/2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 8 g (0.28 oz) 2 teaspoons melted coconut oil
  • 0.2 g (0.01 oz) 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • Optional: pinch of salt
  • Optional: 3-5 drops vanilla extract
  • Optional: pinch of ground cinnamon
  • For the finest texture, use a coffee or spice grinder to turn your pecans into a flour-like consistency. Pulse in short bursts to avoid turning it into pecan butter.
  • Resist the urge to peek! Opening the waffle iron too early can cause the waffle to split. Wait until your iron's indicator light signals it's done or steaming has mostly stopped.
  • For a crispier waffle, let it rest on a wire cooling rack for a minute or two after removing it from the iron before serving.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your electric waffle iron according to the manufacturer's .
  2. In a small bowl, combine the beaten egg, ground pecans, heavy cream, melted coconut oil, and baking powder. If using, add the salt, vanilla, and cinnamon.
  3. Whisk until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
  4. Lightly grease the top and bottom plates of the hot waffle iron with cooking spray or a little extra coconut oil.
  5. Pour the batter onto the center of the iron, spreading it slightly but being careful not to overfill.
  6. Close the lid and cook for 1-3 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and steam is no longer coming from the iron.
  7. Cooking time will vary based on your appliance.
  8. The waffle is done when it releases easily from the iron. Carefully remove it with a fork or spatula and serve immediately.
