Chocolate Waffles with Macerated Strawberries #Choctoberfest

These tender and fluffy chocolate waffles will make your breakfast extra special–top them off with a scoop of ice cream and macerated strawberries and you’ll be in heaven!

This week is #Choctoberfest with Imperial Sugar and a bunch of bloggers and myself are doing a HUGE #Choctoberfest Giveaway. Click here to enter! The giveaway ends October 11.

One of our sponsors this year is Barleans and they sent us some cool products like their Chocolate Silk Greens and their Chocolate Mint Omega Swirl. Barleans specializes in pressed flaxseed oils, omega 3 swirl liquids, and superfood silk greens. Check them out on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

The silk greens has:

• 50 superfoods and supplements
• MEGA 5,000 ORAC antioxidant value per serving
• Delicious chocolate flavor made with 100% natural cocoa powder
• Zero sugar – it is sweetened with all-natural stevia leaf extract
• Dairy and soy-free!

I made a quick easy and full-of-antioxidants-and-nutrients CHOCOLATE waffles. Yes, chocolate. Ted was so excited when I was making these for breakfast! These will take your breakfast to a level of decadence.

All you need is eggs, oil, Barleans Chocolate Silk Greens, flour, Imperial Sugar, buttermilk, chocolate chips, baking powder and baking soda. The Chocolate Silk Greens is an even better replacement for cocoa powder but with all the extra nutrients!

In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, butter and vanilla, and whisk for about 2 minutes. Slowly add in the buttermilk (or white vinegar+milk), Imperial Sugar and flour.

Add the Chocolate Silk Greens, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. The little bit of cinnamon adds a great warmth to the waffles!

Gently fold in the chocolate chips. Cook the waffles in a preheated greased waffle iron until done, following the directions for your own waffle iron. I have a waffle iron that makes cute little heart shaped waffles <3

Serve immediately or keep warm in the oven. I served mine with vanilla ice cream and macerated strawberries! Why not 🙂 For the strawberries, just cut them in half and sprinkle a little Imperial Sugar on top. Set aside for 5 minutes so some of the juices release and creates a yummy sauce. This would be a great dessert or breakfast 😀 They also freeze well too.

Be sure to check out all of the other bloggers’ posts today and the rest of the week featuring CHOCOLATE! There are some awesome recipes 🙂 and don’t forget to enter the #Choctoberfest Giveaway we have this week to win free chocolate, sugar, cookbooks, and more!
