In my house, we try to have at least one large breakfast or brunch on the weekends. We get so busy that it’s nice to have a large meal, just in case we end up eating dinner later than usual. And whenever there’s a special occasion, I like to make the breakfast or brunch a little extra special.
These homemade chocolate waffles are easy to make. The nice thing about these waffles, besides the fact that they taste amazing, is that they freeze well, so they’re perfect for reheating on busy weekday mornings — just pop them into the toaster for a couple of minutes, and breakfast is served!

Other Notes
It’s the perfect way to start the day!
It’s something little, and maybe it’s a bigger pain to fix than anything, but you forgot to mention when to put in the cocoa powder. I’m assuming it’s with the rest of the waffle ingredients. I will probably try these soon so thank you.
Sorry about that! Yes, that’s when you add in the cocoa powder. I’ve updated the recipe and thank you for pointing that out.
