1. Crumble the brown sugar into a large mixing bowl to remove any lumps. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Whisk to combine. Add the milk, oil and eggs; whisk until blended and smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans. Let batter rest 5 minutes before using.

2. Preheat the Cuisinart^® 4-Slice Belgian Waffle Maker to desired setting.

3. Pour 2 cups of batter onto the center of the lower grid of the preheated waffle maker; spread batter evenly using a heatproof spatula. Close lid of waffle maker. Ready light will go off.
