- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp butter (for cooking burgers)

Instructions
- Waffle Preparation: Preheat waffle maker and lightly lubricate cooking surface to prevent adhesion. Thoroughly whisk dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl to eliminate potential lumps, then seamlessly integrate liquid components in a separate container.
- Batter Creation: Delicately merge wet and dry mixtures, stirring with minimal disruption to preserve the batter’s delicate composition. Pour precise amounts into the preheated waffle maker, cooking until edges transform into a crisp, golden-brown landscape.
- Bacon Crafting: Sizzle bacon strips until achieving maximum crispness, strategically draining excess lipids on absorbent towels to maintain optimal textural integrity.
- Burger Assembly: Strategically layer crisp bacon across the waffle surface, creating a harmonious flavor profile. Carefully position protein between waffle “buns”, transforming traditional burger concepts into a decadent breakfast-inspired masterpiece.
- Serving Presentation: Expedite serving to preserve temperature and textural nuances, ensuring each bite delivers a symphony of crispy, savory, and sweet elements characteristic of this innovative culinary creation.
Notes
- Prevent Waffle Stickiness: Use non-stick cooking spray or butter generously on waffle maker surfaces to ensure easy waffle removal and clean cooking.
- Minimize Batter Overmixing: Stir wet and dry ingredients gently to maintain light, airy waffle texture and prevent dense, tough waffles.
- Control Bacon Crispness: Drain bacon thoroughly on paper towels to remove excess grease, ensuring maximum crunchiness and preventing soggy burger components.
- Serve Immediately: Assemble and consume the maple bacon waffle burger right after preparation to preserve optimal temperature, crisp waffle edges, and peak flavor integrity.
