Gingerbread Waffles with Sugared Cranberries

this Recipe

It’s Christmas Eve and I have the perfect dish for you to make Christmas morning – Gingerbread Waffles with Sugared Cranberries. These might be my favorite waffle recipe ever. It is a little spicy and bursting with flavor. My niece might agree after taste testing them yesterday morning for me.

We blasted the Christmas carols and spent the morning baking Christmas Cookies together. We hid Chocolate Kisses inside our family Pecan Snowballs and tried Double Chocolate Cookies she loved to get when she goes to Subway. Such fun memories we are building.

The night before we took the kids to Fashion Island for our annual trip to see the tree and just have fun! They have a beautiful tree and big packages for the kids to climb on and sneak under the tree. We play with toys in the gadget stores and eat dessert. We torture ourselves by going into the Pet Store where our heart strings are tugged on when we see how long they have been there.

But back to these yummy Gingerbread Waffles. They are a little spicy and topped with whipped cream and sugared cranberries. Serve with warm maple syrup and a little powdered sugar for a beautiful and delicious start to your Christmas morning.

I hope you are your families are doing the same thing – enjoying time together. Time flies and each year I am reminded how fragile and precious life is. Thank you for supporting me and my passion for food. Most of all thank you for visiting my site and even booking a class. I wish you and your family a very, Merry Christmas!
