Instructions

Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, mix softened butter, sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Set aside.
Make the glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk together in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Bloom the yeast: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm milk, yeast, and 1 tsp sugar. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Make the dough: Add 2 cups flour, remaining sugar, salt, melted butter, and egg to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed until combined, then add the remaining flour gradually until the dough pulls away from the bowl. Knead lightly until smooth and elastic, then let rest for 10 minutes.
Assemble the rolls: Roll the dough into a large rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick). Spread cinnamon filling evenly and sprinkle with chopped pecans. Roll tightly into a log, seam side down, and slice into 1-inch rounds.
Cook in the waffle iron: Preheat and lightly grease the waffle iron. Place a few dough slices in the iron and cook for 3–5 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining dough.
Finish and serve: Drizzle warm waffles with maple glaze and top with extra chopped Cinnamon Butter Pecans. Serve immediately.

Notes

Add mini chocolate chips to the filling for extra indulgence.

Swap pecans for walnuts or almonds for a different flavor.

Replace milk in the glaze with cream for a richer texture.

Use pre-made cinnamon roll dough for a quick version.

Dust with powdered sugar instead of glaze for a lighter option.
