I’ve always been a waffles girl. I prefer the sturdiness of belgian waffles to pancakes any day, and they are a favorite part of my weekend morning routine.

And these fluffy chocolate protein waffles have the flavor of pancakes inside a sturdy waffle core.

I promise you, if you don’t have a functional waffle maker, go ahead and get yourself one.

It’s so easy to make things in bulk to freeze for later, and your future self (and kids!) will thank you.

You can even serve these waffles to babies. There are no ingredients to avoid in here and no added sugars!

Coconut can be an allergen for some, though, so make sure you’ve already introduced other allergen foods and check with your pediatrician if you have further questions.

These are easy to make in advance or whip them up in 10-15 minutes for a slow weekend breakfast.

These are my kodiak cake sheet pan pancakes are favorite fun high protein breakfast options for kids.

Why Sarah Loves Chocolate Brownie Waffles

Anything with chocolate is a favorite here! But, normally chocolate flavor adds sugar and no protein, but not these coconut flour waffles! Enjoy the flavor and nutrition with these delicious protein chocolate waffles.

Why You’ll Love Chocolate Protein Waffles

• High in Protein and Fiber – These protein waffles are made without protein powder (although adding chocolate protein powder would be delicious!), but you could easily add some to increase the protein as well. I love a breakfast that kick starts the day with protein. Here are some more ideas for how to get 25 grams of protein at breakfast. Protein and fiber help stabilize blood sugar and keep you full, so are important nutrients for a balanced breakfast.
• Great for kids – As a parent, I try to make recipes that will satisfy me and the little ones. Why cook two meals? These waffles with coconut flour are great for quick weekday mornings or lazy weekend ones.
• Easy to make in bulk and freeze – Don’t we all love recipes that we make once yet eat over and over? This chocolate brownie waffles recipe is great to reheat when ready! Better yet, it can help meet your protein goals after a workout in a pinch.
• Ready in 15 minutes – Don’t we all love quick recipes? We thrive on them so don’t let time be a deterrent to make a healthy and tasty breakfast!

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this tasty coconut flour waffles recipe.

• eggs
• choice of milk – I love them with unsweetened coconut milk or dairy milk
• coconut oil – You could also use butter or cocoa butter in its place.
• coconut flour – I wouldn’t recommend substituting for the coconut flour since it is a dense flour.
• whole wheat flour – We’re only using 1 tablespoon of whole wheat flour, which I think produces a better texture and consistency. However, to keep it gluten-free, you could omit the whole wheat flour altogether and just do all coconut flour.
• banana – The banana is a “natural” sweetener.
• baking soda
• cocoa powder
• salt or sea salt
• cinnamon

If you would like the waffles sweeter, you may choose to add a tablespoon of maple syrup or honey to the batter, or just top with syrup!

Optional favorite topping ideas – fresh fruit, cottage cheese, yogurt, nuts/seeds, chocolate chips, etc.

How to Make Chocolate Brownie Waffles

Coconut flour waffles recipes aren’t always easy to test, since coconut flour can be dense. We’ve also added whole wheat flour as well to blend in, so this recipe is not gluten-free.

Start by pre-heating your waffle maker and spraying with a non-stick cooking spray.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients in separate bowls, and then combine together and pour waffle batter onto the warm skillet.

Cook for 3-5 minutes. Note that cooking time may vary depending on your waffle maker.

Mine took about 3 minutes for perfection!
