How to Make Gingerbread Spelt Waffles

  1. Preheat your waffle iron.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups spelt flour (or whole wheat flour), ¾ cup brown sugar (or fructose), 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 cup milk (any kind), and ¼ cup melted coconut oil.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Lightly grease your preheated waffle iron. Pour about ⅓ cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron.
