Chocolate Waffles: Dessert for Breakfast

I’m pretty sure Mr. NeighborFood and I’s love language is breakfast. We loooove breakfast. I mean, when else are you going to eat Overnight Pancake Casserole or an Apple Cinnamon Roll Bake and call it a meal?

Breakfast is the one meal where it’s acceptable to eat dessert as a main course, and then supplement it with bacon.

Thank you for your service, breakfast. We are eternally grateful to you.

Today, we’re bringing you Double Chocolate Waffles, another example of breakfast’s superiority over any other meal. I’ve got a fluffy, crisp waffle with chocolate, berries, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup.

It’s a ridiculously decadent thing to eat for breakfast, which is why I love this recipe so much. It’s the perfect way to treat yo’ self for Valentine’s Day, birthdays, or any other morning you’re feeling a little extra.

The batter for these waffles comes together in less than 20 minutes, so you’ll be enjoying an over-the-top breakfast in no time!

Ingredients Needed

  • Flour– I use all purpose flour, and measure using the spoon and sweep method.
  • Baking powder, soda, and salt– Putting the “fluffy” in Fluffy Chocolate Waffles.
  • Brown and white sugar– We need a hint of sugar in the waffle batter to counteract the bitterness of the cocoa.
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder– I use regular cocoa powder, not Dutch process.
  • Vegetable oil, or sub butter.
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla extract
  • Buttermilk– This is the key to both the flavor and texture of my favorite Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes, and it does similarly wonderful things for this waffle recipe.
  • Chocolate chips– I like using semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you can use any kind of chip you like. A mix of semi sweet, milk, and white chips would be lovely!
Two white bowls, one with dry ingredients for waffle batter and the other with wet ingredients.

How to Make Waffles with Chocolate

  1. First, you’ll need to grab yourself a waffle iron. You don’t need a super fancy Belgian waffle iron (though it certainly doesn’t hurt!). The cheap one we got when we got married over a decade ago is still chugging along just fine.
  2. Once you’ve acquired said waffle iron, preheat it. I need to preheat my waffle iron to the highest setting to get the crispy edges I love, but yours may need to be set a little lower.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk up the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, brown and granulated sugars, and cocoa.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. We’re using buttermilk for a light, fluffy waffle, plus oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  5. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Resist the urge to whisk the crap out of the batter–a lumpy bumpy batter is perfect!
  6. If your waffle iron is not non-stick, spray it with cooking spray. Add about 1/2-2/3 cup (more or less depending on your waffle iron) of chocolate waffle batter to the preheated iron. Close the iron and cook anywhere from 4-8 minutes. I find mine are perfect when the steam has mostly subsided.
