Paleo chocolate chip waffles made with almond flour, cacao powder, canned coconut milk, and dark chocolate chunks. Serve with maple syrup for breakfast!
I’ve always been what I like to call “sleep in defective”.
In high school I would wait impatiently on the weekends for my boyfriend and friends to wake up.
I was itching to text them before noon, knowing full well I wouldn’t receive a response until lunchtime or past.
As an adult, the early morning trend continued and serves me well to keep me in my professional workweek routine.
The consistency of the workweek cascades into the weekend so I pretty much always wake up at the same time.
Even when I’m (occasionally) out until the wee hours of the morning, I wake up before my iPhone reads 8:00 AM in glowing white light.
So imagine my surprise when this week I woke up one day at 9 AM!
Yes, I know, I was shocked, too, and did a double and triple take on the time.
Lately I’ve been leaning into stolen hours of sleep, lazy mornings, and sweet languid breakfasts.
I have the perfect sweet breakfast for you to make on a lazy morning.
These Paleo Chocolate Chip Waffles are made with almond flour, cacao powder, and plenty of dark chocolate chunks for a fun breakfast.
Whether you sleep in until noon or catch the sunrise, these waffles are easy to make to sweeten your AM!
For the longest time pancakes were my favorite weekend breakfast because they’re delicious but also because I didn’t have a waffle iron.
And now that I finally do have a waffle iron, I’m excited to mix things up with some waffles recipes.
That’s right– this is the very first waffle recipe on Flora & Vino!
And it just so happens to be vegan, gluten-free, refined-sugar-free, and paleo friendly.
Here’s what you need:
- ground flaxseed
- super-fine almond flour
- canned coconut milk lite
- Hu Kitchen Gems
- raw cacao powder
- pure maple syrup
- baking soda
- Himalayan sea salt
That’s it!
The waffles are almond flour based with canned coconut milk to keep the mixture oil-free yet packed with creamy whole food fats.
They’re naturally sweetened with pure maple syrup and packed with double chocolate from raw cacao powder and Hu Kitchen Gems.
All you need to do is mix the ingredients in a bowl, pour them in a heated waffle maker, and wait 4-5 minutes for them to heat.
If the chocolate chips stick to the waffle iron a little, that’s OK!
Enjoy these Paleo Chocolate Chip Waffles as an easy weekend breakfast.
You can also make a batch of waffles in advance and enjoy them throughout the workweek by reheating in the toaster.
I love mine served with maple syrup and more chocolate chips on top.
Enjoy!

This post is brought to you by Hu Kitchen, but all words and eats are my own. Thanks for supporting the sponsors that keep me hungry!
I followed the recipe to the tee and The batter was sooo thick. It wouldn’t pour or spread out on the waffle iron. I had to take it out of the waffle iron and add a lot more milk. Sorry but it was a disaster. I checked over the recipe 3 times to make sure I folded it. Sorry
Hi Henrietta,
I’m so sorry this recipe didn’t work for you. Did you make any ingredient substitutions?

Can you use any chocolate chips if I don’t have hu kitchen?
Hi Sara,
Yes, any chocolate chips will work in this recipe! Let me know how it turns out.

Followed the recipe exactly and was too thick so added a little more coconut milk. It was like super glue in the waffle maker – I couldn’t get it open! Epic fail in the waffle iron. The flavor of the crumbs I had to scrape were good but man.
Hi Julia,
I’m so sorry that this recipe didn’t work for you. Did you spray the waffle iron with oil?
