To store leftover gingerbread waffles, place them in an airtight container or zip-top bag and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them separated by parchment paper for up to 2 months. To reheat, pop them in a toaster or oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until they're warm and crisp. Avoid microwaving as they might turn soggy.

I was looking for a gingerbread waffle recipe that doesn't have a ton of sugar and oil, and found this one. It's very good! The batter looked a little thin to me, so I added a tablespoon of a ground flax/chia mix, and I also added 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Very yummy! Thanks for the recipe.
