Description
These Fresh‑Milled Flour Gingerbread Waffles are warm, cozy, and full of holiday spice — perfect for Christmas morning or a simple weekday breakfast. Made with freshly milled soft white wheat berries, these waffles cook up crisp on the outside and tender inside, with rich molasses and gingerbread flavor in every bite. They reheat beautifully (just pop them in the toaster!), and they’re extra delicious topped with toasted pecans. A festive, whole‑grain breakfast your family will love.
