Gingerbread Waffles all the delicious molasses and spice flavor of gingerbread cookies, in yummy waffle form. Having Gingerbread Waffles for Christmas breakfast is one among our favourite family holiday traditions.
I am squarely within the 'have them with syrup , OF COURSE' camp, like within the photo above. I mean, just check out that lovely treacle spilling down over the gingerbread-y goodness. Who can resist that??

The other camp swears by enjoying gingerbread waffles with lemon cheese , like within the photo below. Lemon cheese is tasty, I'll admit that. And that I do love it's bright sunshiny yellow sitting beautifully atop the waffle .
But whichever way you enjoy gingerbread waffles, they're an exquisite Christmas morning treat especially when they're made by an exquisite Mom.
INGREDIENTS :
- 1 c. buttermilk
- 1/2 c. molasses
- 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/4 c. granulated sugar
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/3 c. shortening, melted
INSTRUCTIONS :
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, and sugar; set aside.
- Combine eggs, buttermilk, molasses, and melted shortening, stirring until well blended. Add to flour mixture. Stir until blended.
- Cook in a waffle iron, according to the manufacturer's directions. Serve with pure maple syrup or lemon curd.
- TRACEY'S NOTES
- Waffles can be made ahead and frozen. Thaw and reheat in the oven at 300 degrees for just a few minutes, until they are heated through and the surface is "re-crisped."
- I use a deep Belgian waffle maker, but any type of waffle maker will work.
- Here's my recipe for homemade lemon curd if you'd like to have lemon curd on your gingerbread waffles.
