1. Combine both flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Add the eggs, milk, butter and vanilla; whisk until mixture resembles a smooth batter. Fold in the blueberries, zest, and pecans. Let batter rest 5 minutes before using.

2. Preheat the Cuisinart® Waffle Maker to desired setting (a tone will sound when preheated).

3. Pour 2 cups of batter onto the center of the lower grid of the preheated waffle maker; spread batter evenly using a heat-proof spatula. Close lid of waffle maker. When tone sounds, waffles are ready. Open lid and carefully remove baked waffles. Repeat with remaining batter. For best results, serve immediately.
