Slice, then dice the pears into small pieces.
Add the butter to a small sauce pan and melt on medium heat. Pour the pears in, along with the cinnamon and mix.
Let the pears soften, then add in the brown sugar. You might want to add a little arrowroot or cornstarch to thicken the compote.
Turn the flame to low and let the pears cook and thicken, approximately 2-3 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon, then set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, vanilla, milk, and oil using a whisk.
Combine the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Fold the batter gently. Stop mixing when the batter just come together. Small lumps are okay!
Let the batter sit for 3 minutes on the counter while you prep the pears for the compote. Preheat the waffle iron in this step!
Using a large cookie scoop, scoop two scoops of the waffle batter into the waffle iron, with the option to add some leftover pears into the mix if you have any!
Close the iron and repeat until all the batter is cooked.
Once the waffles are done cooking, ladle 2 tablespoons of the pear compote onto the waffles, topping with syrup, whipped cream, or whatever else you'd like to top with, and serve!
