Double Chocolate Waffles

I’m somewhat in dismay. #NationalWaffleDay was this past Sunday, and I totally missed it. Despite the sticky note I placed inside my day planner. So I hope you’ll forgive me for being a few days late as I introduce you to these Double Chocolate Waffles.

They’re crisp on the outside, and light and fluffy on the inside. Naturally they’re vegan and gluten-free. But…. they’re also oil-free, and refined sugar-free, and they taste divine. It’s like having chocolate brownies for breakfast! They’re also packed with chocolate chips.

I first created these last year for Mother’s Day brunch. Hint, Mother’s Day is coming up so you may want to bookmark this page… Just sayin… And while chocolate waffles are good any day, these are quite the show stopper for brunch. Topped with fresh fruit, coconut whipped cream, and of course, chocolate sauce…. Because… chocolate.

Any leftovers, while doubtful, can be frozen and popped into the toaster or over for a quick reheat when you’re short on time.

So whether you’re making these for Easter, Mother’s Day, or just Sunday Brunch, you’re going to love them. And can enjoy them, as they are relatively guilt-free.
