Are you a waffle or a pancake person?
I recently rediscovered my love for waffles after digging out my waffle maker from my storage unit a few months ago. It reminded me what I have been missing out on all of these months without my handy waffle maker.
I occasionally order waffles when I go for brunch, but my  all time favorite time of day to eat a waffle is for dessert. A huge scoop of ice cream over a fresh warm waffle, drizzled with Nutella – yes please!!
Unfortunately I can’t have my over-the-top waffle sundaes every day, but these Gluten Free Chocolate Buckwheat Waffles are healthy enough for breakfast and so-so good, you can enjoy them for dessert too!
Ok, I am dying to tell you about these waffles. They are pure bliss, in every way possible. And one more excuse to have chocolate for breakfast.
They are made with buckwheat flour which I love to use in gluten-free recipes like these Gluten Free Buckwheat Pancakes. Commonly confused as a grain, buckwheat is actually a seed – so these waffles are also grain-free. Buckwheat is very nutritious and packed with protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Plus it adds a nice nutty taste which goes so well with chocolate.
I topped the waffles with sliced strawberries, toasted almonds, and Chocolate Maple Syrup.
Yes, CHOCOLATE Maple Syrup. Its genius. Honestly, I don’t know why I haven’t thought about this sooner.
