Ephesians 5:1-2
Treat your family to these light and deliciously spiced Chai Gingerbread Pumpkin Waffles. Perfect for the weekends or holidays.
The holiday season is the best time to prepare special treats for breakfast. I like to have a few loaves of sweet breads on hand for that purpose. It is wise to stock up on flour, eggs, and milk as pancakes and waffles are also on the menu. They may take a little time to prepare but that is not a problem at all since there is no need to rush for work or school.
Spiced Waffles
When I saw Melissa of Chindeep sharing her Chai Gingerbread Pumpkin Waffles on Facebook, I knew I had to make them soon. They look so golden and delicious. I had all the ingredients needed in my well stocked pantry and it took just minutes to prepare. I did swap out the all-purpose flour with Bisquick and made minor changes to the amounts of the other ingredients to suit the needs and tastes of the family.
Ten 8-inch Waffles
I was able to make ten 8-inch waffles with the amount of batter available. We each ate one and I froze the rest. The boys totally enjoyed the waffles and look forward to another batch tomorrow. The waffles were light, fragrant, and delicious! The molasses and pumpkin gave them a nice golden color, so perfect for the holidays!

Such handsome looking waffles! I must try pumpkin waffles some time, as I love pumpkin pancakes. It would also be a good excuse to use my pretty bottle of molasses!
Biren says
You should give these a try. They are really good. I made enough to freeze and so I got to eat them again this morning and they tasted just as delicious. Happy New Year, Denise! ♥

The waffle with chai flavour?! Sounds incredible and worth trying, since I am an Indian and chai tea originated in India.
Biren says
Thanks Purabi!
Lyndsey says
These sound fantastic! I just mixed some chai spices this morning so I could add it to oatmeal, granola and now waffles. My last pumpkin waffles were a flop!
Biren says
I hope it will be a success for you the next time. These turned out beautifully for me. 🙂

Is there an alternative to molasses?

You could try honey.
