1 Video | Photo: Pancetta and Cinnamon Waffles Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus 1/3 cup, plus extra for greasing the waffle iron
- 3 (4-ounce) slices pancetta, about 1/4-inch thick, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
- 3 cups Belgian waffle mix (recommended: Krusteaz)
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- Special Equipment: a Belgian or conventional waffle iron
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the walnuts in an even layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until toasted. Set aside to cool.
Preheat and lightly grease a waffle iron.
Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook until brown and crispy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the pancetta to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine waffle mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, cinnamon, and salt. Using a whisk, blend the ingredients together until smooth. Stir in the pancetta. Pour the batter, using the amount recommended by the waffle iron manufacturer's instructions, into the preheated waffle iron. Cook waffles for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown.
Place waffles onto serving plates. Sprinkle with the chopped walnuts and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve immediately

Mmmmmm!!!Made this for dinner tonight and it was a big hit. Hubby and 4 year old daughter were very happy. This was definitely a nice twist to the typical dinner.

I have made this for my family several times. The waffles are hearty and filling and so, so, good. We love them. I cooked for a youth camp and made the waffle recipe, thinned it out with a little extra milk, added bacon instead of pancetta, and made pancakes. All the kids loved it and raved over these pancakes. This is one of my favorites.

I made these with the omelet for dinner this evening and they tasted fantastic! I did use bacon instead of pancetta because I don't really care for it but the contrast between it and the cinnamon was terrific. It also forced me to buy a waffle iron which I think will get much more use now after seeing the ease of making my own waffles at home. Very tasty!
