Ingredients
  

Waffle Batter
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour Substitute with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
  • 1/4 cup Granulated sugar Reduce for a less sweet waffle.
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar Can swap with more granulated sugar if needed.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking soda Ensure it’s fresh for the best results.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder Check freshness for optimal rise.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Feel free to use other salts, adjusting quantity accordingly.
  • 1 tablespoon Ground ginger Use freshly grated ginger for an extra kick.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon Nutmeg can be used as a delightful alternative.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground cloves Use carefully, as it's quite potent.
Added Flavor
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter Coconut oil or vegan butter can work as substitutes.
  • 1 3/4 cups Whole milk Plant-based milk is a great alternative.
  • 2 large Eggs For a vegan choice, opt for a flaxseed meal mixture.
  • 1/2 cup Molasses Maple syrup can substitute if lighter flavors are preferred.
  • 1 tablespoon Freshly grated ginger Adjust based on your spice preference.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract No need for a substitute here!

Equipment

  • Waffle Iron

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: melted butter, whole milk, eggs, molasses, freshly grated ginger, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.
  4. Preheat your waffle iron on high and lightly coat the cooking surface with baking spray.
  5. Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the waffles to a cooling rack set over a baking tray to keep warm while cooking the remaining batches.
  7. Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup or whipped cream.

Notes

Leftovers freeze beautifully for quick breakfasts throughout the week. Avoid overmixing the batter for fluffy waffles.
