Ho Ho! I wonder if Santa would like these wholewheat gingerbread apple waffles instead of cookies this year. These wholewheat gingerbread and apple waffles will leave your house smelling delicious, even Santa won’t be able to resist.
I am all about meal planning, especially when it comes to Christmas. These waffles can be made ahead, stored in the freezer and pop them in the toaster Christmas morning, which means more time sipping coffee and baileys and snuggling up to those you love. I made an apple compote which takes very little effort and tastes amazing but I think pomegranates also would be nice and festive.

If you love gingerbread as much as we do there are some recipes that have caught my eye such as these gingerbread pear pancakes from friache living or these gingerbread muffins from choosing chia. I also have my eye on this cozy gingerbread baked oatmeal from eating bird food. What will you be making this holiday season?
