The Perfect Chocolate Waffles

Chocolate Waffles? You got that right! These beauties are the perfect blend of Belgian Waffles and chocolate cake. Crisp on the outside, but decadently soft and chocolatey on the inside. They are so easy to make, these waffles get whipped up in a snap and can be on the table in 30 minutes.

These beauties are perfect for Mother's Day, Valentine's Day or just any old day you want to make someone feel extra special.

The Perfect Chocolate Waffles

What's the Difference Between Waffles and Belgium Waffles?

Belgium waffles are deliciously thick while regular waffles are thinner. Belgium waffles are made in a waffle iron that has deeper grids than waffle irons you would find in the small appliance section. Belgium waffle batter is also made differently, by adding whipped egg whites to the batter.

Can You use Pancake Mix to Make Waffles?

Most pancake mixes can be made into waffles, by adding extra oil and an eggs. Many pancake mixes have instructions to make both pancakes and waffles on the box. 

Should Waffle Batter be Thick or Thin?

Waffle batter should be thicker than water, but not as thick as dough. It should move slowly when poured, almost like molasses or honey.

The Perfect Chocolate Waffles


how to make chocolate waffles

You will need 3 bowls to make these waffles. 

First, start by whisking your dry ingredients in a large bowl. 

Secondly, seperate the egg whites from the egg yolks and whisk the egg yolk with the remaining wet ingredients. 

Add the egg yolk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix together.

Finally, whip your egg whites to medium peaks and gently fold them into the remaining batter.

Preheat your waffle iron before you start mixing your ingredients to make sure it is nice and hot!

Equipment needed for this recipe

  • waffle iron (I used my mini dash waffle iron)
  • mixing bowls (3)
  • measuring cups for both dry and liquid measures
  • measuring spoons
  • laddle or pitcher/glass measuring up with a spout
  • whisk
  • mixer
Perfect Chocolate Waffles

2 1/4 C flour
1/2 C cocoa powder
1/3 C brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs, separated
2 C milk
1/2 C canola oil
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
Whipped cream for topping
caramel sauce to drizzle
strawberries, bananas, nuts etc for topping

Preheat your waffle iron, according to manufacturer's instructions.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In a second mixing bowl separate the egg whites, from the yolks; placing the whites in a third bowl. Whisk in the brown sugar into the egg yolks until smooth. Add in the milk, oil, vanilla and almond extract, whisking until well combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.

Using a mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until medium peaks form. Using a spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the batter, until incorporated. 

Depending the size of your waffle iron, pour between 1/4 C (for my mini dash waffle iron), to 3/4 C (for a regular size waffle iron) of batter onto your hot waffle iron. Cook waffles according to manufacturers instructions, or for 4-6 minutes, until waffles are cooked through. 

Serve waffles with strawberries, bananas, nuts, whipped cream and a generous drizzle of caramel sauce.

No Yeast Old Fashion Cinnamon Rolls

 These delicious cinnamon sticky rolls have been in my family for over 40 yrs. No yeast is required, so you can whip up a batch of these in no time. Still tender, sticky sweet and delicious! Ever since I can remember Mom would make these as a special treat. It wasn't too often, but every once in a while, we'd come home to these no yeast cinnamon rolls, as an after school snack. Growing up, this is what I thought cinnamon rolls were. I wasn't aware that there was a yeast version of cinnamon rolls. As much as I LOVE the yeast version, this no yeast version seems to make an appearance more frequently here at home.  Since there is no yeast in the dough, it does not need to rise for 30 minutes before being rolled out and baked. When I worked in the retirement home the residents were always excited when I made these cinnamon rolls. They said it reminded them of their childhood. It was amazing seeing how happy a simple recipe could make them. I don't make these very often and

50+ Creative Cottage Meal Ideas

When the warm weather hits many of us head to the cottage, to enjoy the sunshine and time near the water. Instead of always packing up burgers and hot dogs, I've rounded up over 50 creative meal ideas for delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Ever since I was little my family always enjoyed a few weeks camping at a near by provincial park, during the summer months. When us kids, became older and moved away, Mom and Dad bought a trailer which remained parked at a location, so we would often go and visit for a few weeks then too. My mom has always been an amazing cook and with her outside kitchen often made our family favourites, even at camp. Now that my SO and his family have a cottage, we are frequently there for most of the summer. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs seem to be our go to, so I wanted to collect new creative meals perfect to make while camping, or at the cottage.  Breakfast Recipes Healthy Banana Milkshake Thick, creamy banana milkshake made without ice cream, dairy, and

Black Forest Roll Cake

Light and fluffy cherry and whipped cream filling is rolled in an airy sponge cake. 13 years ago, I made a dinner that I was totally proud of. Not only did it taste wonderful, it looks fantastic too. I was so proud of myself that I took a photo, which I wanted to share with my friends and family. Only I didn't know how I could share it with everyone, at the same time. Then a thought came to me- a blog!!!  I've always been a foodie. While growing up, I'd often watch talk shows, just to see the cooking segments. I'd sit with a pen and paper, quickly jotting down ingredients and directions, to hopefully recreate recipes at home. I still remember a beet salad I begged my mom to let me make, asking her to buy raspberry wine vinegar for the dressing. It turned out to be something neither of us enjoyed, and up until a few years ago, Mom still had the vinegar in her cupboard.  I first started my first blog, Hun... What's  for Dinner?, as a way to share recipes with my famil
