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.

Juli, would these work as a good base waffle if I omitted the chocolate? (Not that I would), just looking for a good base waffle…
for sure!!
Did someone say burning and sticking? Traditional waffles have significant oil content in the batter… plus it increases outer crispiness.
Good tip on the almond meal. I passed on the 1 lbs bag of almond meal at $10 the other day.. it sounds like I can do it myself for $4.
I’m with you on the dancing! I went salsa dancing the other day and the men that can dance just spin you in ways you never knew you could! Have fun at the health fair!
My waffle iron has gone missing but I MUST have this recipe in some form with me this weekend (going to a three-day music festival). I am bringing all of my food and I want these babies for breakfast. So, I’m going to attempt these as pancakes. WILL REPORT BACK.
These worked great as pancakes with a couple modifications! I added more coconut milk (maybe around 1/8 cup) and decreased the almond flour by 1/4 cup. This made a more “pancakey” batter. I greased the pan with coconut oil. I made smaller pancakes so they would cook through without getting burnt on the outside. They are delicious!!!!!!
These were a great treat for breakfast this morning and really took care of that chocolate craving I’ve been having!!
I had these for breakfast this morning and I LOVED them! Great recipe Juli!!!
OMG. Thats all I have to say. Made these for my wife this morning for her birthday. Homerun. They were great and our 13 and 11 yr old girls even loved them. 3 recipes tried…more to go.
Made these for my wife for her b-day breakfast. Homerun…loved them. We all did (our 2 girls, 13 and 11 yrs old also). 3 recipes tried…can’t wait to try more.
This recipe is magical. Why? (Other than because it’s from Juli). Because it also works for pancakes. I’m chowing them down right now. Due to my undomesticated lack of planning, I made a few adjustments:
-No canned coconut milk so I used Almond Coconut milk (definitely less thick)
-No cocoa so I used chocolate protein powder
-Also substituted 1/4 cup almond meal with 1/4 cup protein powder.
I cooked them about 90 seconds each side at med-low heat.
