Gingerbread Waffles
Warm, spiced gingerbread waffles are a cozy breakfast treat, ready in under 30 minutes with rich molasses and ginger flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour 125g
- 1 cup whole wheat flour 120g
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk 240ml
- 1/2 cup sour cream 120g
- 1/4 cup molasses 85g
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled, 85g
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's directions. Lightly grease it if necessary.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and all the spices (ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves).
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Then, whisk in the milk, sour cream, molasses, and melted butter until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
- Pour the recommended amount of batter onto your hot waffle iron. Cook until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through, usually 3 to 5 minutes depending on your machine.
- Carefully remove the waffle and place it on a wire rack while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter. Mixing until just combined keeps the waffles tender and fluffy.
This batter contains raw eggs. Ensure waffles are cooked thoroughly until golden brown and firm to the touch, with no wet batter inside.
Waffle irons vary. Adjust the amount of batter and cooking time based on your specific model for the best results.
