    Topping Ideas

    And now for my favorite part of this chocolate Belgian waffle recipe: the toppings!! Just look at those glossy sliced bananas, juicy red strawberries, the dusting of powdered sugar and warm chocolate syrup!

    What is the difference between a waffle and a Belgian waffle?

    Belgian waffles are usually thicker than regular waffles! They tend to be soft, fluffy and make a wonderful presentation for breakfast.

    Variations

    While this chocolate waffle recipe is practically perfect already, here are a few ways to complement their rich chocolate flavor:

    • Add different flavored chips – Add dark chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, cinnamon chips or even peanut butter chips to the waffle batter
    • Make a waffle sandwich – sandwich bacon (try my quick Air Fryer Bacon) or sausage patties between two chocolately waffles or be really bold and make a Waffle Burger!
    • Turn up the toppings – Top these waffles with pats of melted butter, toffee chips, raspberry jam, dollops of peanut butter, hot fudge, chocolate sauce, Nutella, your favorite frosting, shredded coconut, toasted nuts, or cinnamon sugar.

    Equipment

    Do you have to use a Belgian waffle maker? No! You can use a regular waffle iron or a mini waffle maker, too. Every waffle maker cooks a little differently, so while my waffles were done is about 2 minutes, watch yours carefully and remove the waffles when they are firm and fully cooked.

    Storage

    Leftover waffles (if there are any!) should be cooled and then stored in an airtight container or storage bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    To freeze extra waffles, lay them in a single layer on a sheet pan and freeze for about 2 hours. Separate the frozen waffles with parchment or wax paper and store in a freezer bag for up to several months.

    Equipment

    • 1 waffle maker

    Ingredients

    • 1 ½ cups biscuit baking mix (I used Bisquick)
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • ½ cup cocoa powder
    • ¾ cup water
    • 2 eggs lightly beaten
    • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ½ cup chocolate chips
    • Assorted toppings (powdered sugar, maple syrup, chocolate syrup, strawberries, raspberries, banana slices, whipped cream, ice cream, additional chocolate chips, etc.)

    Instructions
     

    • Heat waffle maker.
    • Into a large bowl, sift the biscuit mix to get rid of any lumps. Stir in sugar and cocoa powder. Add in water, eggs, oil, and vanilla; mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips until well combined.
    • Spray hot waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour batter into the waffle maker until the bottom plate is just barely covered completely (about ¾ cup but amount may vary depending on the size of your waffle maker). Cook for about 2 minutes or until firm.
    • Carefully remove waffle and serve with toppings if desired.

    Notes

    • Chocolate chips are optional but they really amp up the rich chocolate flavor of these waffles.
    • You can use a Belgian waffle maker, standard waffle maker or even a mini waffle maker for this recipe.
    • Each waffle maker cooks a little differently, so while my waffles took about 2 minutes to cook, watch your waffles and remove them when they are firm and fully cooked.
    • Use non-stick cooking spray and spray the waffle maker well before each batch of waffles.
