I am back with another Waffle recipe. When you bake waffles with nuts and dried fruits, it tastes so yummy. Each bite is satisfying with the crunchiness of nuts and sweetness of fruits. I had dried fruits and pecans with me. So, I decided to try Pecan Dried Fruits Waffle for breakfast.
Pecan Dried Fruits Waffles
Feel free to experiment with any dried fruits of your choice like apricots, pineapples, raisins, berries, apples and so on. I added whole what flour for extra fiber. I used vegetable oil instead of butter to reduce the calories. You can make two 8″ round waffles with the given measurements.
