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.

lol at the imaginary boyfriend. i come home every night from a 12 hr shift cook a meal and usually do the dishes. unfortunately my wife doesn’t cook too good and isn’t willing to try a whole lot. I’m going to try these waffles for my boys I’m sure they will love them.
After seeing your weekly email earlier this week with Mother’s Day ideas, I printed this one out and requested it for breakfast today. They were great! Wonderful way to start the day. Thanks!
These are so freaking good!!! They came out perfect. My ten year old loves your recipes. Licked the plate and spaghetti squash in the garlic chicken spaghetti. Loved the breakfast cookies and these are gonna be a hit. I thought I’d pre-make them for tomorrow….well I had to have one! Breakfast for lunch! Thank you for your amazing recipes. It has helped me lose over an inch around my waist in 2 weeks. I’m a trainer and instructor. Love all types of disciplines – yoga, pilates, running, dancing, spinning but paleo has changed my body. Your recipes make it easy.
Just wondering if you have a nut free version of this?! (The toddler is allergic :()
haven’t tried a nut free for this recipe but you should check out some of my other waffles that are nut free and you could add some cocoa powder to it!
I generally hate baking with almond flour just because it makes for a very weird and dry consistency, but as waffles it was fantastic! I love that you only put in in a tbsp of honey so they aren’t crazy sweet. They are pretty rich though, so I ate mine with sliced fruit on top and my kids enjoy them with applesauce on top instead of syrup. I think they would be great as well as a dessert with a little bit of coconut milk ice cream, but we’ll have to try that another week. I rarely eat sweet foods like this in the morning cause it makes me feel pretty crummy for the rest of the day, but we make exceptions for this recipe because it is just so yummy. Kudos, Juli.
taste like chocolate cake but in waffle form! more dense than gluten waffles, but that means they’re filling and one batch will last a few days for just me. thank you juli!
I tried your fantastic recipe on my new waffle iron — I did not have coconut milk in the house so I whipped some up using coconut butter and water. It worked out fine.
I also created a warm compote of maple syrup and blueberries for a topping. I had enough to make 2 more waffles which I will try freezing (if I don’t gobble them up first).
These were amazing!! I didn’t have cocoa powder but they still tasted great without it. Thanks for all your wonderful recipes Juli!!!
Thank YOU for trying them out!
Oh, I love this recipe and have made it lots with the ground almonds I buy at the health food store. For some reason I thought they would be better with finer ground almonds, so I got some at the bulk place. Well, they were not nearly as good at all. The batter was way to thick, they stuck to my waffle iron (which was liberally greased with bacon grease), and they didn’t get gobbled up by everyone. Like, these kids usually eat a batch then cry that there are no more. So back to the less fine almond stuff it is.
I am currently doing a whole30 but there are on the menu for my celebratory brunch next week, along with mimosas and the pumpkin brownies from your recipe book. Can’t wait!!
Looking at all these reviews I must’ve measured wrong or something or maybe I overcooked them but they seemed overly crunchy, burnt tasting and not at all like waffles. Looking at your pictures, mine did not fluff up at all, they were hard and thick with not a ton of flavor. How hot did people cook these in their waffle maker? I had mine on medium and cooked 4-5 minutes. I also had a sticking problem so next time I’ll try more oil.
I did give these low stars but I admit it may have been chef error. I hope it works better for everyone else!!
if you believe it was your own error, please do not rate the recipe. that doesn’t make much sense.
