These are just as good as my Vegan Belgian Waffles but contain cacao and chocolate chips!! Breakfast just got more tasty!!
Good morning!!
Do you like chocolate chips for breakfast?
For Mother’s Day, my husband asked me what I wanted for breakfast. And of course I told him I wanted waffles…. but I didn’t want just any waffles — I wanted CHOCOLATE waffles. And I wanted my chocolate waffles covered with miniature chocolate chips and raspberries.
But since we have never made chocolate waffles before, we had to change things up a bit. We used my Vegan Belgian Waffles recipe as the base and added some cacao powder and mini chocolate chips. And whipped up these incredibly delicious and Chocolatey Chip Belgian waffles.
And I think these waffles turned out perfect. They weren’t too sweet or too indulgent, but boast just enough chocolate to make Mother’s Day very special. Ah, chocolate. How I love thee….
If you like chocolate and waffles, please do give these a try. They’re just as good as the original, but since they’re chocolate, they’re extra special. These waffles may make your Mother’s Day perfect, too. But let’s be real, you can have these Chocolatey Chip Waffles whenever you want
I hope you enjoy the as much as we did.

Notes
Be sure to clean the waffle iron after each waffle to avoid scorch marks and sticking.
*These waffles were nice and crisp and perfectly baked at the 6 minute mark.
If you’re not serving these right away, you can keep your waffles warm on the lowest setting in your oven for up to 30 minutes.
