How to Make Chocolate Belgian Waffles?

Regular waffles, meet chocolate Belgian waffles and run away! You’ve got nothing on these!

1. Get your Belgian waffle maker preheated and ready.
2. Combine the dry ingredients in one large bowl and the wet ingredients in another.
3. Time to unite – mix wet and dry till smooth.
4. Pour batter into the waffle maker and cook as per manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Top off with your favorite toppings, and indulge!

Pro Tip: 

• Don’t overmix the batter. A few little lumps are fine and ensure your waffles stay fluffy.

 

 

Are Chocolate Belgian Waffles a Breakfast or a Dessert? 

These homemade waffles are both a dessert and a breakfast! 

Start your weekend breakfast with them or enjoy them as a dessert! 

If you’re serving them for breakfast, top them with syrup and berries. So good!

And if you’re serving them as a dessert, top them with a scoop of ice cream and chocolate sauce.

While you’re at it… why not just make a double batch. Some for breakfast in the morning and dessert in the evening. Love it!

 

 

Are Chocolate Belgian Waffles Healthy? 

Actually, these Belgian waffles are pretty healthy for having cocoa in them!

With whole ingredients like Greek yogurt and eggs, they are pretty nutritious. 

For a healthier twist, swap cane sugar with a natural sweetener or use whole wheat flour.

Though those things will change the texture, flavor, and bake time. So be careful with swaps like that.

And if you do end up changing the recipe a bit, let me know how it goes! I always love to hear how it works for people!

Can You Put Chocolate Chips in a Waffle Maker?

Absolutely you can put chocolate chips in the waffle maker! More chocolate is never a bad thing!

For that extra chocolatey punch, sprinkle some chips onto the batter just before closing the waffle maker.

As long as you’ve sprayed the hot waffle iron before adding your waffle batter then it shouldn’t stick to the waffle maker.

You can also use butter to grease the waffle iron. That or cooking spray.

And actually, some newer waffle irons are pretty nonstick. But I still add grease. Just in case.

I like adding mini chocolate chips to make chocolate chip Belgian waffles. I think they’re just the right size.

 

 

Can Dogs Eat Chocolate Belgian Waffles? 

Dogs should definitely not eat this chocolate waffle recipe. Actually that’s a very, very firm no! 

Chocolate is harmful to our furry pals. It can be toxic at all levels and should always be avoided.

If your dog eats some chocolate, watch them carefully and call the vet if necessary.

That also means you should be careful with any leftover waffles!

A lot of people already know that dogs shouldn’t eat chocolate. But dogs don’t know that!

They’ll jump right up on the counter if they can and swipe whatever you’ve got laying around.

So be careful where you keep anything with chocolate in it if you’ve got a furry friend around the house.

 

 

Chocolate Belgian Waffles are the best of all worlds! A delicious dessert. A chocolate filled breakfast. There’s nothing better! Enjoy!
