Set waffle iron on a clean, flat surface and turn on to preheat.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and brown sugar. Whisk together to blend.
In a medium bowl, whisk together oil, eggs, vanilla and buttermilk. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold in. Once mixture is almost fully incorporated, add bacon bites. Stir. Try not to over-mix the batter, it can make the waffles tough. The batter will be lumpy!
Cook waffles according to your waffle iron instructions. Serve with maple syrup and strawberries! Enjoy!
