"Oatmeal Pecan Waffles (or Pancakes)" is a delicious and versatile breakfast recipe that combines the heartiness of oats with the rich, nutty flavor of pecans. The batter, suitable for both waffles and pancakes, is made by blending oats, flour, and other standard pancake ingredients. Chopped pecans are added for crunch and flavor, creating a delightful texture. The result is a wholesome and nutty breakfast option that can be cooked to perfection on a waffle iron or griddle. Whether enjoyed as waffles with syrup or as pancakes with your favorite toppings, these oatmeal pecan creations offer a satisfying and comforting start to the day.
Combine flour, oats, baking powder, sugar and pecans in a large bowl.
Combine egg yolks, milk and vegetable oil in a separate bowl, and mix well.
Add liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, and stir together. Do not over mix; mixture should be a bit lumpy.
Whip egg whites into medium peaks. Gently fold egg whites into batter (for pancakes, see note below).
Pour batter into preheated waffle iron, and cook until the waffle iron light signals it's done or steam stops coming out of the iron. (A waffle is perfect when it is crisp and well-browned on the outside with a moist, light, airy and fluffy inside).
Add fresh fruit and a light dusting of powdered sugar to each waffle and serve.

Notes
For pancakes, do not separate eggs. Mix whole eggs with milk and oil, and eliminate steps 4 and 5.
