Ingredients 🛒
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk 🥛
- ¼ cup molasses 🍯
- 2 tbsp melted butter 🧈
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions 🍴
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients 🥄
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Set aside.
Step 2: Combine the Wet Ingredients 🥄
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, molasses, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
Step 3: Make the Batter 🧁
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix — lumpy batter is perfect for fluffy waffles!
Step 4: Cook the Waffles 🧇
Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with non-stick spray or butter. Pour the batter onto the iron, close, and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes. Once golden brown, serve with your favorite toppings! 🍓
