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.

Giving it a shot right now. Fingers crossed. I tried to make my own almond meal too, I don’t think I have a powerful enough processor, but I am using it anyhoo. Wish me luck!
Ok, these were SO good, they even got my 7 yr old son’s approval, and he doesn’t EVER try new things. They were super easy to make and with my new $10 waffle iron that I brushed lightly with almond oil, they came out perfectly fluffy and cooked evenly on both sides. This will be a Sunday staple!
Just made these this morning in my george foreman grill (that has a waffle griddle). I got 4 waffles out of it (1/2 cup batter for each). These are the best waffles i have ever had! My kids gobbled them up!
Wow! Just Wow. No, also amazing, rediculous, dangerous, and utterly satisfying. Thank you. Oh, one more…OMG!
Is there a way I can figure out how to switch out the almond meal for coconut flour in recipes? Like you, my body just can’t handle nuts but almond flour is everywhere in Paleo recipes! So I’m looking for a formula or conversion I can use!
Thanks!
i’m sure there is a way jordan, but it’s different with every recipe. so i can’t really give you a conversion 🙁
Coconut allergies run in my family. I’m scared to try anything with coconut in it. Do you have a substitute for the coconut milk?
you could just use a little almond milk
YUMMY! Made this as a test batch for Easter brunch this Sunday…Will be serving non paleo family.They definitely made the cut. Thinking of adding either strawberries or raspberries for topping. Thanks!
Tried these this morning for my non-Paleo husband, and myself . I am always trying recipes to see if they pass his test. He liked them we both thought that the flavor was perfect. Hubby thought they were a bit dense/dry but my little food tester had a great idea. Something that I did with my paleo banana bread that made a big difference in texture. Beat the egg whites separately and fold them into the batter for extra ‘air’. I’m going to try that again next week.
Made these over the weekend at my parent’s house since they have a waffle maker. I now feel like I need to buy my own waffle iron! These were wonderful. My whole family really enjoyed them and usually they are skeptical about my gluten-free Paleo food. It took much more coconut milk to get the batter to the right consistency and we added about a tablespoon of melted coconut oil to the batter to ensure it to not stick. Great chocolatey flavor (I used mini chips), good texture, delicious with strawberries and syrup. Thank you!
I just made these…they are waaaay too delicious to be good for me!!! Love them. Thank you!
