I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Ours was fun. We did a little hiking, a little relaxing, a little eating, and of course went to my son’s flag football game. Also this weekend, I finally saw Bridesmaids for the first time. I know, I am pretty much the last one on the planet to see it, but what can you do? It was hilarious! I am still laughing when I think about parts of it 
So being that today is the first Monday of the month, do you know what that means? Secret Recipe Club reveal day! This month I was assigned No Reason Needed. This blog is hosted by a funny mother of two. There were all sorts of recipes to choose from, but in the end I was suckered in with the Chocolate Waffles.
These were incredible, but I like sweet for breakfast. My 7 year old was also a huge fan. I topped mine with a little bit of whipped cream, and strawberries. My 7 year old liked syrup on his. I still have a couple in my freezer to toast up on a busy morning. I cut the recipe in half because there was only 2 of us. But I am giving you the full recipe below.
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 Tbls sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups milk (I used almond milk)
- 4 eggs, separated
- 4 Tbls canola oil
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Preheat waffle iron.
- In a large bowl whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl combine milk, egg yolks, and oil. Add milk mixture to flour, and stir until combined.
- In another bowl whisk egg white until you have soft peaks, about 3 minutes at medium speed. Fold egg whites into the batter. Finally, add in the chocolate chips.
- Spray waffle iron with non-stick spray. Pour in batter and cook until the light goes off, or about 4 minutes. Serve with whipped cream, strawberries, or syrup.

Ooh. We make waffles a lot. Will have to try chocolate in them next time. I LOVE chocolate and don’t think I’ve ever made chocolate waffles.
My kids love chocolate and if I tell them tomorrow breakfast is chocolate waffles previous night, they will be too excited to sleep! =D I should make this soon! But I won’t tell till the morning…
Chocolate waffles sound like the perfect way to kick off the week!
Be still my heart. Be still. Gorgeous waffles, Erin!
No.. you’re not the last person to see Bridesmaids. I just saw it a few weeks ago myself.
Now if I got to watch the movie and eat chocolate waffles… that would have been an even bigger treat. 
Great recipe. 
these waffles sound incredible! and you’re not the last person to see bridesmaids…i still haven’t!
These look AMAZING!!!
I laughed so hard at Bridesmaids I thought that I may pee my pants. Hilarious!
I finally have a waffle iron and still haven’t used it! I think it just called my name
What a deliciously indulgent breakfast – yet another reason why I need a waffle iron
Cheers

I made waffles too. I love the idea of chocolate ones, I don’t think I’ve ever had a chocolate waffle. My hubs would want them for dessert, with a scoop of vanilla.
Do you know how badly this is torturing me?!! Oh em gee!! I need a huge stack of these in my life!
I’ve never had chocolate waffles, actually I’ve never even heard of chocolate waffles! Seems harmoniously decadent! I def need to make these asap!
Oh, I have a few big kids that would love these for breakfast, too! Great pick for the SRC
Chocolate waffles would be a huge hit in my house!
Erin, these look so good! A nice idea for Mother’s Day! I think I’d top mine with a dollop of peanut butter and sliced bananas
What a wonderful breakfast!! I could go for these now and I’m not even hungry!
I love chocolate and waffles…so why not get both in one bite?!?!? Love this…especially with those gorgeous berries! I saw Bridesmaids with my BFF in the theater last summer, but Michael just saw it for the first time when it came on HBO a couple of weeks ago. He cracked up too…it’s like the female version of The Hangover, yes?
How many calories are in these?
I just added up the ingredients, and came up with about 230 calories per waffle. I made 12 waffles for me.
I’m not a big waffle gal, but chocolate waffles I totally get – yum!!
Chocolate waffles is a favorite at our house and we feel like we are eating dessert for breakfast. Nice recipe and photos
I have never had chocolate waffles before, but this looks so decadent. Perfect for weekends in my opinion.
I like my breakfasts (especially on the weekends!) to be a little sweet too…and these chocolate waffles look perfect!
Yummmm!!
I have a friend who made her husband chocolate waffles on Valentine’s Day for dinner. She’s a bit of a health nut, and well, her husband is not, so he was expecting some ‘healthy’ dinner. When he came home to waffles & ice cream for dinner, he was so shocked!
So sweet
I thought that movie was so funny. Always nice to have a good laugh. Your waffles look super good. Are they for breakfast or dessert? I would take them either way.
I do not make waffles enough but you have me at chocolate. My nephews would love these – need to bookmark to make soon. I am in Group C of SRC and love the group. Nicely done!!!
Looks like Mother’s Day brunch to me!!
Oh my gosh how fun. These are fantastic. My kids are older and would still love this for breakfast. Now this is a breakfast I can wrap my head (and mouth) around.
Yum! I would love to start my day with that!
I think I am going to start coming to your house for breakfast! You make some yummy things! These waffles look excellent. I don’t pull out my waffle maker nearly enough!
i can only hope these waffles will magically appear on my table in the morning at breakfast time!
This would totally make my daughter go crazy in the morning! I had planned to make your birthday cake pancakes for her birthday in a few weeks, but I think I may have to switch over to these waffles (and buy a waffle maker, ours is in strorage back in the US.) Ahhh…just what an indecisive person like me needs…another choice of what to make for her
