I wanted to share something seasonal that would scream I-wish-I-was-in-front-of-a-fire snuggling, but a little different. I have a little crush on Gingerbread. Then I found these Gingerbread Waffles. They are amazing! Breakfast happiness on a fork, full of baking spices and that perfect cozy feeling. These waffles will leave you feeling like you just got a big hug. And who doesn’t need a hug?

Wow, these look great! I can't find molasses around these parts, but if by some miracle I do, these WILL be happening soon in my house. I'll probably try them just using a basic recipe and the spices alone. That'll still be yummy.
If you don't have molasses, I would try some dark corn syrup. 🙂
These look fantastic, Julie!
I love the flavor of gingerbread, but I’m not a big fan of crunchy cookies. These gingerbread waffles are perfect because they give me the yummy gingerbread flavors in a delicious waffle!
