This is the best Paleo Chocolate Waffles recipe. The waffles are thick, chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside, similar in texture to Belgium waffles. The chocolate taste is amazing!
Brittany Angel sent me a copy of her cookbook, the Every Last Crumb: Paleo Bread and Beyond and for months I had a close eye on this chocolate waffles recipe!
Choosing which recipe from the cookbook to make and share with you was not easy! But the recipe for Chocolate Waffles got stuck in my head, and I asked Brittany if she would mind if I shared it with you. She said yes and I purchased a new waffle maker just to make this recipe!
These chocolate waffles are so good!
Instead of drizzling the waffles with chocolate like Brittany suggests in her book, I drizzled mine with caramel sauce. This is my famous recipe for homemade caramel sauce. It compliments these chocolate waffles and strawberries so much! You can find the recipe for my caramel sauce here.
The only other modification I made to the recipe was in place of baking powder, I used 1 teaspoon of baking soda.
For the oil, I used melted coconut oil, and for the milk I used full fat coconut milk.
Brittany's new cookbook is perfect for anyone who loves to bake and is looking for Paleo and gluten-free options. The recipes also tend to those with dietary restrictions and many are egg, nut, and yeast-free, as well as lower in carbs.
You'll find many of the classic bread recipes adapted to be Paleo such as sandwich breads, hamburger buns, dinner rolls, and other specialty breads such as lavash, naan, arepas, and tortillas. Recipes for breakfast treats also include bagels, muffins, doughnuts, scones, waffles, pancakes, and croissants. There are even decadent recipes for cookies, cakes and brownies!
