These were delicious even though I was missing some ingredients. First, I substituted pure maple syrup for the molasses. Then I had to make my own allspice - equal parts cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves & ground black pepper. Finally, I didn't have buttermilk, so I put 1 Tbsp lemon juice in a measuring cup and added skim milk up to the 1 cup mark and waited 5 minutes and then added 3/4 c to recipe. I also added 2 Tbsp flax and 2 Tbsp wheat germ. Despite all of my substitutions, they were wonderful!

Delightfully delicious!! My husband said, "these are great! Where did you get the recipe?" - a true triumph. I followed the recipe exactly, except that I used ww pastry flour and subbed canola oil for butter. I dusted the waffles with powdered sugar. This recipe made 3 large waffles... I overcooked the first because it was spongy (previous reviewers noted the crispyness) - it burnt before it got crispy, but when it cooled -voila- perfect crispyness. You'll just have to guesstimate when they are done, since they are so dark, you can't tell if they are golden - probably judge by smell or steam, or trust the machine's indicator. Update: I made these again, but forgot to add brown sugar and raisins - I missed the raisins but the waffles were perfect sweetness w/out the sugar. Also, I used Pam for Grilling spray on the waffle iron, and it worked better than regular Pam.

These are the BEST waffles ever! I loved to eat them plain, my daughter liked them with syrup, and my husband liked cream cheese on them. They are awesome!

These are the best waffles ever. It is a little bit labor intensive for first thing in the morning so I make this as a Saturday late breakfast. I served it with cinnamon syrup (found on this web site) and saugage. What a treat. Very filling.

My family (kids age 6 and 3) adored this recipe. It was very sweet - we didn't have the whipped cream and used syrup. My husband had a better idea for the waffles. We took the warm waffles, added vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup on top. What an unforgettable dessert! Great taste combination! Double the recipe - this will be loved...

These waffles were very soft. They had pretty good gingerbread flavor. I only added 1 large tablespoon of brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of molasses, other wise they would have been way too sweet for my families taste. I also added ground nutmeg. I did not use raisins, instead, I used sliced bananas. I put the bananan on top of the waffle before cooking, while the waffle cooked the bananas carmalized on top and gave it such a wonderful flavor. I don't know if I would make them again, but they were worth trying at least once.

These are delicious. I've had them a few times already. Always plain as they're so good they don't need anything else. Had them both the way written and with some changes. I'll keep making them with my changes though. I've only made two and they are 1) I used sifted whole wheat flour instead of white and 2) omitted the butter entirely. I didn't find the butter to be necessary at all. It is hard to tell when they're done since they're so dark. So it might be best to time it and write it down somewhere (which I still have to do). And as some others have said, they will become a bit crispy as they cool down. Will definitely be making these again and again.

The taste was good but it was very soft. I had a hard time just transferring each out of the waffle iron onto a plate. Not sure if it is the recipe or the waffle iron but I do know that I've had others come out crispy on the outside before. I wish I knew...

wow. thank you...my 3 year old doesn't like to eat breakfast. She 'snacks' on an apple or a gogurt, but it drives me nuts because she won't eat something substantial! So, I thought I would make and freeze waffles and see if she was interested. Looked and looked for a recipe I thought she would enjoy and SHE ABSOLUTELY LOVES THESE!!! So I used wheat flour and 1/2 honey 1/2 molasses (ran out of molasses) and did add the raisins. She is currently on her 6th quarter...no butter or syrup, just the waffle. Thank you! I would much rather her eat these than blue raspberry gogurts!

I can't help write my review right now as I sit here and eat these AMAZING waffles. They are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and oh-so-yummy; especially if you love gingerbread! I didn't have any whipped cream to put on top but I have chopped up bananas and powdered sugar on top. I wouldn't change a thing in this recipe and would definatly make it again!

These were super yummy. I would have given 5 stars but my ginger was old so it wasn't too gingery but I bet with normal ginger it would be even more delish. I doubled the recipe and I'm glad I did because it didn't yield too many waffles (probably like 3 belgian waffles with the single recipe). I didn't double the molasses though b/c I think molasses is so strong (I don't have a lot of molasses exp. here) but maybe it is b/c I have "cooking molasses". Our family ate it with applesauce and whipped cream on top. Such a great combo of flavors. Next time I'll try substituting a bit of wheat flour or wheat germ in to make a bit more nutritious for a dinner.
