Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Lightly grease the waffle iron if necessary.
Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron for each waffle.
Cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3-5 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, maple syrup, or fresh berries.
Notes
For extra spice, add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the dry ingredients.
If you don’t have all the individual spices, you can use 2 1/2 teaspoons of gingerbread spice blend.
The batter can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Whisk well before using.
