Making gingerbread waffles is a simple process. Follow these steps to create your delicious breakfast:

1. Preheat Waffle Iron: Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well combined.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the buttermilk, molasses, sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Cook Waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron. Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the iron, close it, and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions (usually about 3-5 minutes) until golden brown.
6. Keep Warm: If making multiple batches, keep cooked waffles warm in a low oven while you finish the remaining batter.
7. Serve Immediately: Serve the waffles hot, topped with your favorite accompaniments.
