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.

They work great as pancakes as well! Better than normal pancakes!
Seriously, I made these and they were SO amazing!! like, perfect. Leftovers were even better! Kinda turned brownie-like. LOVE!!
My husband is a picky son of a bitch, I have only found one “paleo” waffle recipe he would eat. He is a whore for chocolate so I guess I have to make these! (Worst case I have ANOTHER batch of waffles to myself. Oh no!)
Is almond flour the same thing as crushed almonds?
yes, a fine powder from almonds
You are so funny. I don’t do paleo (but do LOVE your recipes) but I come to read almost every post you write just because you crack me up! ha. These look freakin’ awesome, too. I do not have a waffle maker, but just read someone else’s comment on there that they do work as pancakes… and love the idea that you can make your own almond meal.. duhhhhh
These were AMAZING!! I kinda sorta went out and bought a waffle maker yesterday just because of this and your other pumpkin waffle recipe.
Howeverrrrr.. I have a question. I followed the recipe exactly and I got a SUPER stiff batter, like so stiff I couldn’t even mix everything together. I ended up adding 5-6 huge tablespoonfuls of coconut milk to get it to a better consistency, and I still had to spoon the batter in to the waffle pan and spread it out with the back of the spoon.
Any idea what I did wrong? Have you heard this problem before?
I haven’t, but that’s smart you added some milk to it, you could also add coconut oil to give it more of that smooth texture. Did the still taste good?
Oh Geez I know this reply is like 1000 years late but if I use a finer grind of almond flour I have the exact same thing happen! Maybe someone will see this and it will be helpful…
This is a great base for bread, cake pancakes! At least, I think it would be…
I just made these lovely waffles but monkeyed them out with a few additions- 2 ripe bananas (they really needed to be used), coconut oil, and 1 T of coconut flour….the waffles were soft but easy to take out of the waffle iron and crisped up some after cooling. They were extremely light and delicate in the mouth while being super filling!
I will probably try this as a cupcake base soon as the crumb appeared to be perfect for that.
Thank you for a great recipe.
Made these as pancakes!!! YUM!!!!! I didnt have any coconut milk so i used almond. And had to add a dash more milk to give it a more batter feel. Totally filled my sweet tooth craving and I dont feel bad about it! 🙂
Would this recipe work with coconut flour instead of Almond meal? I don’t have almonds at the moment, but totally want to make these tomorrow for the kiddos.
I’m not totally sure. The consistency will definitely be different and you’ll have to be careful with the amount of coconut flour, maybe less than a half cup would work. it can get real dry, real quick.
These were so delicious! My son and husband (who are super picky) loved them! Definitely five stars!
