Gluten Free Chocolate Waffles
Chocolate waffles. Do I really need to say more? Since going gluten free chocolate waffles and really all waffles are hard to come by. But we have tweaked recipe after recipe and come up with this delight. It tickles the part of me that loves all things chocolate for breakfast.
These gluten free chocolate waffles make the perfect waffles and ice cream sundaes. I just love waffles and ice cream. It’s a serious nostalgia food for me. Waffles and ice cream was the breakfast of choice when I was little and had a big day at school coming up. Tough test? Waffles and ice cream for breakfast. Gym day? (I HATED gym class.) Waffles and ice cream. SAT day? Yep. I probably had waffles and ice cream.
Granted, my mom’s version of waffles and ice cream was toaster waffles, not homemade, perfectly crunchy and soft chocolate waffles.
And toaster waffles have their place. Past pregzilla me can attest to that. One night around 2 am when I was about 20 weeks along with the Goose, I needed toaster waffles in a way that only a pregnant woman could. It was a craving mixed with an intense sense of desperation. If I didn’t eat a toaster waffle right then, it was going to get real ugly.
We didn’t have any toaster waffles. It was tragic. It was also 2 am. My husband offered to go to the store to get some to feed the beast but I wouldn’t let him go. Instead, bless his sweet heart, he quietly got up off the couch and went into the kitchen. He didn’t say a word and kept telling me to stay put. He made me delicious homemade waffles. At 2 am. He toasted them a little extra to give them the toaster waffle crunch I was craving and slathered them in butter. Husband of the year right here.
Meanwhile, I full on ugly cried as I ate the waffles that my husband so thoughtfully made me at 2 am. Because how sweet is that?
I can assure you, pregzilla me would cry ugly tears if I was fed these chocolate waffles at 2 am. Actually, pregzilla me would probably ugly cry at any time of the day. These gluten free chocolate waffles are perfection. They are the right mix of crispy and fluffy. Plus, the chocolate chips. OMG. Just stop. Chocolate chips in waffles. Yes please. They melt and make the waffle taste like a chocolate chocolate chip cookie. Serve them with these mocha frappuccinos and enjoy a chocolate lover’s dream. Or for an extra decadent twist, spoon on some strawberry topping for a chocolate covered strawberry vibe.

Chocolate waffles and ice cream!? I must try this 🙂
I can totally veganise this by replacing the dairy milk and the eggs with chia seeds. I’m going to try it! 🙂
Awesome! Glad it can work for you!
Looks amazing!! I’m totally going to try making these! xx, gracie

I’ve never thought to put ice cream on waffles, but these look delicious!!
These look really good for a weekend breakfast treat. I think I’ll top mine with strawberries!
These look fantastic, and I have all of the ingredients (minus the GF flour) in my pantry! One of my closest friends just stopped eating gluten and I think I’m going to have to have her and her kids over for breakfast (or dessert!) sometime in the near future.
You could sub regular flour if you want to give them a whirl. When your friend comes over, I like the Bob’s Red Mill all purpose gf flour blend.
These look amazing!
These look way delicious! I love that they are a fun spin and add extra yummy points!
I love waffles, and healthy waffles!? Even better! I will be trying these for sure.
Now we just need healthy ice cream to go with them!
Yum! Those look incredible. I have to bake with almond milk for my boy who is allergic to dairy. But honestly, I think almond milk might only add to the flavor. These look so good!
I think the almond milk would work just fine. It might even be really good with the vanilla almond milk to add extra flavor.
Yes! This looks scrumptious!
Great combination you have there with waffles and ice cream 🙂
It’s a classic! Can’t go wrong!
Well wether it tastes good or not, these pictures are more than enough to get me to try this!!
It definitely tastes good. Chocolate waffles! How could they not?
This look amazing! I love that they are chocolate and gluten free. I must try these.
This is genius! They look SO GOOD.
