Instructions

Preheat the waffle iron to medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter, whisking until just combined—there should be no flour streaks, but avoid overmixing.
Spray the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour in ½ cup of batter for each waffle, filling the grids without overflow. Cook as per your waffle iron's instructions until golden brown and crispy.
Keep finished waffles warm in a 200°F oven, arranged in a single layer on the rack. Continue with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute the buttermilk with nut milk and add a tablespoon of vinegar.
For a crispier texture, let the batter sit for a few minutes before using it.
