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!

What an awesome idea. I would probably throw some flax seed in too to make them even more healthy and you’d probably never even know. Thanks for the idea!
I love that idea! I put flax seed in our bread all the time, why haven’t I thought about adding it to waffles?
This looks so delicious! Thanks for sharing at Link party Palooza.
