Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Waffle Iron

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and brown sugar.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, molasses, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 5: Cook the Waffles

Grease the waffle iron lightly with cooking spray or melted butter. Pour the batter into the waffle iron, using enough to cover the surface without overflowing.
Cook the waffles until golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes (depending on your waffle iron).

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Serve warm with your favorite toppings like powdered sugar, whipped cream, maple syrup, or fresh fruit.

Notes

Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in dense waffles. Mix just until combined.
Keep Warm: Place cooked waffles on a baking sheet in a 200°F (90°C) oven to keep them warm while you finish cooking the batch.
Freeze for Later: Make a double batch and freeze extras for a quick breakfast on busy mornings.
