1. Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.

3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing the batter.

5. Scoop the batter into the center of the preheated waffle iron, using enough batter to cover most of the surface without overflowing.

6. Close the waffle maker and cook the waffles for about 4 to 6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

7. Transfer cooked waffles to a wire rack or warm oven while preparing the remaining batter.

8. Serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.
