We love having a family Christmas morning brunch and if you have kids you know they love waffles or pancakes! Why not make a festive family breakfast.
After all the gifts have been unwrapped, why not fill the house with the smell of Christmas! These gingerbread waffles smell delicious, they are so easy to make and so festive. Make sure to add enough molasses, ground ginger, cinnamon & nutmeg to get that gingerbread flavor into the waffles for some serious Christmas brunch festivities.
Serve these with whipped cream, a light dusting of powdered sugar, fresh fruit, butter and maple syrup!
