  2. 2.

    Preheat a waffle iron to medium heat and grease with cooking spray. Pour about 3/4 cup of the batter into the center of the waffle iron. Press closed and cook until the waffle is golden brown and the edges are slightly crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side. Serve warm topped with pecans and a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.
