I have to say that aside from my Brownie Waffles or Savory Oatmeal, this may very well be my new favorite breakfast.
The flavoring in these is perfect. Not too strong, not too weak. Top with a bit of Plum Butter or maple syrup and your day will be off to an amazing start!
In fact, I’d go so far as to say that it tastes a little like have gingerbread cookies for breakfast! And who wouldn’t love that?

These look delicious! Is 5 cups of milk correct?! That just seems like a lot of milk, so I wanted to check. Thanks!
That’s what I used when I made them. If you are at a different altitude than me, it could be slightly different. If you aren’t comfortable with using that much, you can always play it by ear and start with 3 or 4.
I made this with 5 cups of milk and had a mix thinner than pancakes! So I added 1/2 cup of flour and then another and then another! I had to dump the whole thing! It didn’t make waffles – or pancakes, which I also tried since I put so much money into the batter! The waffle maker didn’t even recognize anything was in it for a long time b/c it was soooooooooo thin! And there was no gingerbread taste at all! Very disappointed!
Tracey – I’m so sorry to hear that! I’ve made this several times and I’ve never had a problem with it. Did you make any substitutions at all?
I’m not sure what you mean. Are you looking for a metric measurement?
I’m sorry, I don’t know the first thing about gluten free cooking/baking. Try Elana’s Pantry or The Gluten Free Goddess. Both are excellent web sites.
Yum!! Definitely pinned this recipe! 🙂
Thanks!
1 cup of milk is the equivalent of 250 ml or 8 fluid ounces in a liquid measuring cup. If you are looking for other measurements, you can do a google search for conversion charts. Just plug in the amounts in the recipe and it will give you the equivalents.
I believe to make it gluten free you can use spelt flour instead of the whole wheat flour.
I don’t believe so. Spelt is a type of wheat.
Yes, it’s definitely and American thing. I think we tried moving to metric a while back but most people were too stubborn to make the change.
I don’t have a waffle maker. Do you think this batter could work for pancakes? Thanks!
Definitely!
It’s for binding.
I made these this morning! YUMMY! Thank you so much for all the fantastic recipes. Your website has made eating clean so much easier for me!
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed them!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it!
This looks amazing! One quick question tho…. what do you think I can use to substitute the Oat Flour?
Just use 3 cups of the white whole wheat flour.
Sounds wonderful!
Awesome! 🙂
Do you add the entire spice mix to the recipe?
Valerie – It’s been a while and I can’t remember how much that spice blend recipe makes. But for my recipe, I used about 1 tsp of the mix.
How much Lebkuchen Spices do you use?
I can’t seem to find a measurement.
Thanks,
Julie
Julie – Sorry about that. Just added it back in. Start small and add more as needed. It’s pretty strong stuff.
