Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 large eggs
1/2 cup molasses (unsulphured)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, molasses, melted butter, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until just combined; a few small lumps are perfectly fine.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or a little extra butter.
Ladle the batter onto the center of the preheated iron and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the steam stops escaping and the waffles are golden brown.
Carefully remove with a fork or tongs and serve warm.
Notes
Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in a toaster to maintain crispiness. To freeze, wrap cooled waffles individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to one month.
