Hello! You've landed on an older recipe. Sometimes the older recipes aren't written as clearly as they should be or something might need to be clarified. If something seems confusing or a question arises, send me an email and I'll help!
For 99% of things I own or have, I don't hoard. I like simplicity, hate clutter, and am a minimalist at heart (which I'm sure shows in my hardly-styled photos). In the kitchen, I'm the exact same way but there's always a few key items that I hoard like it's my job and two of those items are featured in this recipe.
The second cherry season starts, I go a bit crazy and way overspend. Both M and I will grab a bowl and snack on them all day. To me, they are the perfect fruit snack. I've also been known to hoard vanilla beans. When I can, I sneak in the vanilla bean instead of vanilla extract. I love the extra flecks the vanilla bean adds to the overall dish on top of the lovely vanilla flavor (that I find actually comes through better than using vanilla extract). This recipe is really all about the cherry topping (but don't be fooled- the waffles are great too!)
Preheat the waffle iron. In a bowl, whisk together the flours, whole oats, baking powder, and sea salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until combined but with a few lumps, being careful not to over mix. If batter is thick, add up to 1/4 cup of milk, one tablespoon at a time, to thin the batter out (it should be pourable but not thin).
Pour half of the batter into the waffle iron and cook per the waffle iron directions. Keep finished waffles on a baking tray in a 200 ̊F oven until ready to serve.
While waffles are cooking, combined the butter, maple syrup, and cherries in a sauce pan or skillet. Half the vanilla bean and scrape out the seeds into the cherry mixture. Heat over medium-low heat until cherries are tender.
Top waffles with cherry mixture, toasted pecans, and extra maple syrup as needed.
Totally agreed on cherries, I can literally eat them like they're candy! I seriously need to get my hands on a waffle maker, I am dying to make waffles at home! These look amazing 🙂
These look bomb!! I'll have to make a GF waffle version to taste these babies. I'm obsessed with all things nilla bean. I've been obsessed with vanilla bean and coconut whipped butternut squash. I posted it weeks ago, but I still crave it nearly everyday! It might be summer but my taste buds still want fall flavors. Xx
These waffles and cherries with the vanilla bean look SO WONDERFUL!!!!! My kind of breakfast...or lunch...or supper too!! SO love cherries too. Thanks for the great recipe! Can't wait to try it out, I know it will be a repeat one.

Gorgeous! I've been shopping around for vanilla beans on Amazon. Where / From whom do you purchase yours?
