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%)
• 0 cooking spray or melted butter (for greasing waffle iron)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, molasses, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, powdered sugar, or maple syrup.
