What are the ingredients for these waffles?
- All Purpose Flour - the most trusted, reliable flour to bake with!
- Eggs - Eggs are a very important ingredient in making baked goods, as it adds to the overall structure and makes these gingerbread waffles fluffy.
- Cane Sugar - sugar is not only important for the sweetness, of course, but is also very important for moisture retention and leavening (rising).
- Oil - oil is the fat used in making waffles and gives it the crispiness and flavor.
- Milk - extra moisture comes directly from the wet ingredients, and milk is a necessity!
- Bailey's Irish Cream - we don't need a lot for the flavor to come through, but just enough to give the waffles a beautiful brown color and of course, a punch of creamy Irish flavor!
- Cold Brew Coffee - the coffee is a fun add to these waffles as it pairs well with the Irish cream, but also gives more flavor and aids in moisture.
Swaps and Substitutions
There are a few different ingredients you can swap out and substitute to make this waffle recipe your own.
- Flour - If you are gluten free, you can use a 1:1 gluten free flour to swap out instead of all purpose flour
- Milk - Swap out the regular milk for half and half, almond milk, or oat milk.
- Sugar - It's important to keep the sugar the way it is as it's not just meant to sweeten the waffles, it helps with the fluffiness and overall taste of the waffles.
- Oil - You can use any neutral oil you'd like whether it's olive oil, canola oil, or avocado oil.
- Irish Cream - These waffles are meant to pack a little punch in them thanks to the addition of the Bailey's. If you don't want to add it, feel free to leave out and add in more coffee to make these a cold brew waffle instead, which is the original version of this recipe.
How do I make these waffles?
Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, sugar, vanilla, oil together until fully combined.
Pour in the Bailey's
To the wet ingredients, mix in the cold coffee and bailey's Irish cream.
Prep the Batter
Combine the dry ingredients into the wet and fold together with a spatula.
Make the Waffles
Add ¼ cup of batter to the waffle maker or waffle iron and close. Cook until desired crispiness and repeat until all the batter is used. Top with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and whipped cream.
Ways to pair and serve these bailey's waffles
- These are such a delicious treat for breakfast and are excellent on a breakfast brunch table, on a breakfast charcuterie board, or you can even serve them with other waffles like Belgian blueberry waffles, red velvet waffles, or my favorite flavor: cinnamon and pear waffles.
- Another way to pair this waffle recipe is to meal prep them for the week. Make a double batch of this waffle recipe and have them as a breakfast option for the week.
Tips for making the best waffles!
- Remember to let the eggs and milk come to room temperature before adding to the bowl. Room temperature ingredients mix better than cold eggs straight out of the fridge.
- Switch to a spatula when mixing the flour and other dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Over-mixing will cause these waffles to get super gummy and chewy, we don't want that!
- Don't overfill the waffle iron with batter. The batter will drip and seep out of the sides if there is too much batter.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I store these waffles? Are they good for the freezer?
Add any leftover waffles to an airtight container and place in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you want to add them to the freezer, place them in a plastic food storage container, labeling when the waffles were made.
To cook from frozen, you can simply place them in a toaster oven and cook until they're warm and crispy.
How do I make these waffles a little healthier?
You can add in two scoops of protein powder for 20 grams of added protein to the waffles. The two eggs, along with the milk add an additional 20 grams of protein in the entire recipe, so added protein powder will bring the total to approximately 40 grams.
I love using Ancient Nutrition's Multi Collagen Protein Powder or the Bone Broth Protein for added nutrition and benefits for my hair, skin, and nails.
Is there a specific waffle iron I need?
No! You can use whatever waffle iron you have. If you have a singular, circle iron, that works just as well as a Belgian waffle maker that makes 4 at once.
