Warm, spiced gingerbread waffles topped with a rich homemade hot chocolate sauce—perfect for festive mornings or cozy winter breakfasts.

Ingredients

1 cup light molasses

1/2 cup butter

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 cup milk

1 egg

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups boiling water

1 cup white sugar

2 tbsp cornstarch

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp salt

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp butter (for sauce)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the molasses and 1/2 cup butter until almost boiling. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Stir in the baking soda, milk, and egg until combined.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp salt.
  4. Make a well in the center and pour in the warm molasses mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth.
  5. Preheat and spray a waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour in the batter and cook until waffles are golden brown.
  6. For the chocolate sauce, combine boiling water, sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and 1 tsp salt in a saucepan.
  7. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and 2 tbsp butter until smooth and glossy.
  9. Serve waffles hot with generous amounts of warm chocolate sauce.

Notes

Add nutmeg or cloves for extra gingerbread flavor.

Keep waffles warm in a low oven to maintain crispness.

Chocolate sauce can be thickened with additional cornstarch slurry.

Belgian or regular waffle irons both work.
