Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter (or coconut oil), vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice) until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
If desired, fold in chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or crushed black tea leaves.
Lightly grease the waffle iron, pour in batter, and cook until golden brown and crisp.
Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fruit, or yogurt.

Use whole wheat flour for added fiber and a nuttier flavor.

Add mini chocolate chips for a sweeter, dessert-like version.

Toast the spices lightly before adding to intensify flavor.

For extra crispiness, keep cooked waffles in a warm oven on a wire rack.

This batter also works for pancakes if you don’t have a waffle iron.
