1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup crushed pecans
2 slices cooked bacon, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups pancake mix, such as Krusteaz
1 1/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

For the bacon pecans: Add butter to a skillet over medium-high heat until melted. Then add the brown sugar, pecans, bacon and vanilla. Cook until a caramel texture, 2 to 3 minutes.
For the waffles: Spray a waffle griddle with nonstick cooking spray. Heat the griddle on medium heat.
Whisk together the pancake mix, milk, oil, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Ladle the waffle batter into the waffle griddle and close. Cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
Remove and serve with the bacon pecans poured directly over the waffles.
