Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cups molasses
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups milk (whole or 2%)
- cooking spray or melted butter (for greasing waffle iron)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, molasses, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until thoroughly combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter (usually about 1/4 to 1/3 cup, depending on your waffle iron) into the center of the preheated waffle iron. Spread slightly if needed.
Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually about 3-5 minutes, depending on your waffle iron. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, powdered sugar, or maple syrup.
