Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk (whole or 2%)
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1/4 cup molasses (unsulphured)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whisk the dry ingredients in a large bowl: flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and add the milk, melted butter, molasses, and vanilla, whisking until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined.
- Let the batter sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it.

- Transfer cooked waffles to a wire rack and repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For extra fluffiness, you can beat the egg whites separately and fold them into the batter. Leftover waffles keep well in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
