How do you make chocolate waffles?
First combine your dry ingredients and then in a separate bowl combine your wet ingredients until smooth. Pour your wet mixture into your dry mixture and stir until just combined. Cook your waffles in your waffle iron, then top with ice cream and your choice of delicious toppings like nuts, sprinkles coconut whipped cream, and more.
Top tips for making waffles:
- Know your waffle maker. Every waffle maker is different and take different times to cook, be sure to read the instructions on your waffle maker to ensure you have properly cooked waffles.
- No spray oil necessary (at least for this recipe). The non-stick quality of a waffle recipe is in the recipe itself, not the spray you put on the waffle maker. The amount of oil in this recipe should make these non-stick in most waffle makers.
- Avoid over-mixing for a fluffy waffle. If you over-mix the batter you will have a chewier, bread-like texture.
- Be patient with your waffle maker. Opening your waffle cooker too early can ruin a waffle. Let your waffle maker tell you when they’re ready. If your waffle maker doesn’t have an indicator light wait until the steam stops.
- Freeze leftover waffles. Avoid unnecessary food waste by freezing any leftover waffles. Then when you’re ready to eat them, just pop them in the toaster or toaster oven.
Which waffle maker should I use?
Whatever waffle maker you want to use is fine by us. We use a rotating round Belgian waffle maker for ours as we like the crispy outside it creates, while still having the pillow-y inside.
Toppings we love for ice cream sundaes:
- Crushed Nuts
- Granola
- Fresh Fruit
- Coconut Whipped Cream
- Sprinkles
- Chocolate Sauce
- Maraschino Cherries
