These are, hands down, the best waffles I’ve made so far. If I could rate my own recipes, I’d seriously give these waffles 28 stars. I couldn’t stop eating them! And it was great since I made them for Laura but she could only eat half of one because she thought they were so rich sooooooo I got to eat all of them. That butt be growin’!!
So Tuesdays are my day off. That means I usually do laundry, cook a couple meals for the week and try to clean my kitchen that I will just get dirty within 30 minutes of cleaning it. It’s frustrating. A never ending dirty kitchen is dumb. Is it selfish to want a boyfriend strictly for helping me with dishes? I mean, I would do the cooking every night…isn’t that fair to have someone just wash the dishes?! I’d be down to kiss the person as well. A makeout session AND dinner. Why the hell wouldn’t my imaginary boyfriend do the damn dishes? This paragraph is pointless.
Guess what I’m doing this weekend? Well, other than playing in the park with my friends from CrossFit Broadway then most likely going out dancing once again on Saturday in hopes of dancing with the great gay guy who spun me around the dance floor…I’ll be working at a Health Fair at CrossFit Eminence! Can you say run-on sentence? Yes, yes you can. CrossFit Eminence will be holding a health fair this Saturday May 19th from 8am-3pm which will have all kinds of fun info and stuff to do. Like the Body Fat Truck. That’s what I’m going to do with my Saturday. Get in the body fat thing-a-ding and cry for the rest of the afternoon. I’M KIDDING, jesus. It might be cool to find out how much fat is hanging out around my lower section of my body. Ew.
I hear they also will have a dunk tank. I feel very neutral about that. Neutral meaning not good. If someone tries to get me to go in the dunk tank, I will absolutely not act like it’s funny nor play along. B*tch mode. Does that make me a bad person? Kind of. But me without make up on is scary. And the last thing I want to do is dunk my head under water then have people frightened of me and not check out my website. F*ck you acne. You’re mean. You make me look like a bad person.
Anywho, if you have any free time on Saturday, come to CrossFit Eminence between 8am and 3pm for all kinds of stuff to make you a healthier person. I will also be doing a giveaway with treats and apparel! Don’t miss out! Maybe you can go in the dunk tank for me?! YES? Cool. You’re awesome. Whoever you are.
Chocolate Waffles
- Yield: 4-5 1x
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup almond meal/flour
- 1/3 cup canned coconut milk
- 1/4 cup Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips or dark chocolate chips
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 2 heaping tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or raw honey (some kind of sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- sprinkle of cinnamon
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Plug in your waffle iron. You don’t have a waffle iron? Why? Because it’s the most pointless tool in the kitchen and takes up a balls ton of room? True. But buy one. Waffles are awesome.
- Whisk your eggs in a medium-large sized bowl.
- Add your coconut milk and sweetener and whisk together with eggs.
- Next add your almond flour and mix more!
- Then add your cocoa powder baking soda and mix together.
- Lastly, add in your chocolate chips, vanilla, salt and cinnamon. Mix together thoroughly.
- Pour into your waffle iron and cooking until cooked through. It took about 4-5 minutes for mine to cook through and crisp up.
Notes
1. I have no idea if these will work as pancakes.
2. Roasted, unsalted almonds were on sale so I just made my own almond meal in a food processor. Meaning I threw the almonds in a food processor and turned in on for 30 seconds. Ta dah! Almond meal. Easy peasy, cheap and squeezy.

See more items I probably won’t make (no waffle iron) but still can sit down and enjoy a heartwarming tale of your misfortune.
You could make them pancakes instead of waffles if you don’t own a waffle iron. 😉
Ok…this looks seriously awesome and I’m drooling now. But, I think I’m doing something wrong. I’ve done some of your other waffle recipes (pumpkin waffles) and they were a disaster with the waffle iron. They stuck like mad and I ended up having to scrap them off with a spatula and got a small pile of scraps. I even let it cook for like 5-7 minutes. What am I doing wrong? I want this to work so badly!!!
Try coating your iron with coconut oil, or similar. My waffle iron has been sticking everything lately. I now coat it with oil before every waffle.
I halved the recipe for my mini waffle iron. Made 4 perfect waffles. Thank you for the recipe!
Same happened to me with the first pumpkin waffle. I figured out the issue! Second time around, I sprayed way more cooking oil and, VOILA! It no longer crumbled or sticked. It tasted AMAZING!! 🙂
No waffle machine makes me sad : (
I’m gonna eat chocolate instead & lots of it
Juli- when you post to use 1/3 c coconut milk, what’s the ratio of the creamy stuff on top to the watery juice in the can? Better to just use the water or the fat on top?
Thanks!!
mix it all together Stephenie, then pour that out to 1/3 cup
Finally got myself back to full paleo (struggling bad right now) and these waffles look AMAZING! I cant wait to find time to make them
My waffles even come out in the shape of penguins…..no really they do.
Juli you are incredible, crossfit men should be at your feet!
I’m jealous of your penguin waffles. And yeah, what is up with that!? I’m not the ugliest human being alive!!
Ooooh..what a fabulous waffle recipe to try post long run!! I love waffles. I love dark chocolate. I love my Belgian waffle maker. I love your blog!!
For a cup of that coffee and some of those waffles I’d make out with you and do your dishes!! LoL Kidding…kinda. 😉 My hubs may not like that idea.
I agree with Mel…those crossfit men should be crawling after you.
I printed these out to try this weekend! Looks de-lish as always.
Yay, I have everything here to make these! I think I just found breakfast.
And I feel the same way about my reasons for wanting a boyfriend, I get tired of taking the garbage out week after week!
My waffle maker hasn’t seen any action since going paleo – I need to give it some lovin’!
OMG I wish you had a local restaurant. I would be such a regular. I love to cook but hate to do anything remotely related to baking. thanks for posting about the Health Fair at CrossFit Eminence. I am definitely going to try to go and get tested! Excited to see what apparel you bring!
