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.

I made pancakes from this recipe but I did have to add about 3/4 cup of whole milk to make it runny enough to pour onto my skillet. They tasted good, especially with butter and organic maple syrup. I need a waffle iron!
I made these this morning. Mine are VERY cocoa-y. Could I leave out one of the tablespoons?
Also, how much did you put on the iron? 1/4 cup? 1/2 cup?
Thank you!
absolutely. and i don’t write about how much should go in the iron because every waffle iron is different. 1/4-1/2 cup would work depending on the size of the iron
You’re on a first name basis in our house… every single recipe I’ve made from you is always AHHHHMAZING! This recipe is no exception and is one of my favs!!! So delicious!!! The batter was a little too thick so I just used common sense and added a little coconut milk to thin it out a little. Topped it with coconut whip cream, fresh berries, and a little berry syrup! So great!!
These are soooo good! I am new to paleo cooking, so I did add 1/3 cup gluten free flour because the batter was like mush, I am not used to that if that is normal in paleo cooking….? I will defintaley makes again!!
This is the first waffle recipe I have ever made. My hubby got me a waffle maker for Valentine’s because I started a paleo way of eating this year…..my picky 1yr old devoured these!!! I’m going to sneak spinach in them next time….lol!! Thanks for this recipe! Winner!
Would these taste good without maple syrup? Also would it taste good without the sweetener?
Thanks
Not as sweet so that’s up to you
Wow! These were amazing!!!! 28 stars, for sure!! Love your site & your recipes. Thanks for making my primal journeya little sweeter! Your recipes helped me convince my husband to go primal this year!
Second the intimidation comment from a jillion years ago; I’m a little late to the party. It’s getting increasingly difficult to find men who can share in the joy of a women truly coming into her power. I got kinda lucky, and I’ll loan him to you, but you need to have me too! Heehee. Dirty.
Anyway, this was excellent, but I didn’t have coconut milk, so I called my food scientist sister for advice and then used 1/3 cup cream/milk combo and 1 tbsp coconut oil. I either cooked them too long or got the ratio wrong because they were kinda dry. Assuming I do a shorter time, what can I do to make them moister?
Heh. Moist.
Thanks for being you!
hmmmmm they shouldn’t be very dry. maybe a bit more of the milk/cream combo!
Yooooooo!!! Lovin’ this recipe! In case you were wondering, they work just as well for pancakes. Super thick and moist – perfect. Can’t wait to get a waffle iron and make them how they were always meant to be.
I just ordered a waffle iron because of you :-p
