Make weekend special with these delicious healthy chocolate waffles. Everyone will love the rich chocolate taste, and top with fresh fruit for an even more healthy breakfast!
This from scratch waffle recipe uses whole wheat flour for some extra nutrition. But you cannot taste it through the rich chocolate flavor.

On the weekends, I love a quiet morning where the whole family can eat breakfast together. A couple weeks ago the kids were asking for chocolate chip pancakes, which (surprisingly) I am not a huge fan of.
I love chocolate, but I don’t feel like pancakes can stand up to hot gooey chocolate and they end up too mushy for me. Instead, I tweaked my favorite waffle recipe and came up with these Healthy Chocolate Waffles and we love them!
These Healthy Chocolate Waffles are our new favorite weekend breakfast. We cover them with loads of whipped cream and fresh strawberries (gotta get a serving a fruit and some dairy in there).
And the kids are happy to wait for me to wake up before making breakfast if they know I am making them!
