How To Make Chocolate Chip Waffles At Home Easily?

These chocolate chip waffles are hot, crispy, and fluffy, making for a delightful breakfast that everyone will love. Here’s how to make them!

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar (granulated, brown, or maple sugar)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Wet Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 3/4 cups milk (any kind, including plant-based)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs

Add-ins:

• 1 cup chocolate chips (mini or regular)

Instructions

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Then add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Rest the Batter: Allow the batter to rest at room temperature while you preheat the waffle iron. For thicker, fluffier waffles, you can also cover and refrigerate the batter for up to overnight.
5. Preheat the Waffle Iron: Set your waffle iron to a medium heat setting (around 3 or “crisp”). Once preheated, lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
6. Cook the Waffles: Using a measuring cup (1/2 to 3/4 cup), pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid gently and wait for the indicator light to signal that the waffles are done (typically when it changes color). Carefully lift the lid and use a spatula to remove the waffles.
7. Serve: Transfer the waffles to a serving plate, being careful not to stack them (to avoid sogginess). Top with additional chocolate chips, sliced bananas, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Make Ahead, Store, and Reheat

• Make Ahead: The batter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a day.
• Store: Leftover waffles can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• Freeze: Cool completely, then place waffles in a freezer-safe container. They can be frozen for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: For frozen waffles, microwave for 20-30 seconds or toast until heated through.

Tips for Success

• Bring all cold ingredients to room temperature before mixing to ensure even blending.
• Resting the batter enhances texture, making the waffles fluffier.
• Always lightly grease the waffle iron for easy removal.
• Press down on the lid to help the batter cook evenly.

Enjoy your delicious chocolate chip waffles!
