1. Make the Waffles: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using). In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Cook the batter in a preheated waffle maker until golden brown and crispy. Set the waffles aside.

2. Prepare the Burger Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Gently form the mixture into 6 evenly-sized patties. Grill or pan-fry the patties until cooked to your desired doneness, topping them with slices of melted cheese during the last minute of cooking.

3. Cook the Maple Bacon: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Arrange the bacon slices on a baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper (if using). Brush this maple-sugar mixture over the bacon. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized.

4. Fry the Eggs: In a skillet, melt a small amount of butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs and fry them sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness.

5. Assemble the Maple Bacon Waffle Burger: Place one waffle as the base, then top it with a burger patty, crispy maple bacon, a fried egg, optional avocado slices, and a drizzle of extra maple syrup. Finish the masterpiece with another waffle as the top bun.
