I love pancakes, and if someone asked me whether I’m a pancake person or a waffle person, I’d totally pick that giant stack. But for some reason I was having this phase where I really didn’t want to have pancakes.
I think it came from ending up with flat flapjacks on two consecutive days using this pancake mix. I was quite disappointed, so I decided to give waffles a shot. The packaging said this mix could be used for both, so I took the shortcut instead of making them from scratch.
But why have plain waffles when you have some chocolate in your life? Dark Chocolate waffles made that meal sound A LOT more appealing!
Topped them with sliced bananas, walnuts and a quick chocolate sauce for a super special treat!
Save this one if you need some extra chocolate this weekend.
They also freeze really well, so you can bulk-cook and have them whenever you get a chocolate craving – which might just be every day if you’re anything like me.
