Whole Wheat Dark Chocolate Covered Strawberry Waffles

It’s time for another ‘celebrating food’ post! September is National Breakfast Month and I couldn’t be more excited for that. Why? Because I LOVE breakfast! I mean I REALLY love breakfast! Oftentimes I find myself wanting to primarily post breakfast recipes… and then I remember there are other meals in the day that people need to eat for. Just the other day I shared my Whole Wheat Apple Pie Waffles with you and loved them. Today I’ve got another fun waffle recipe for you! I mean, who can go wrong with chocolate? Add chocolate covered strawberries, a chocolate drizzle, and a sprinkling of mini chocolate chips and you’ve got a pretty decadent breakfast!

You only need a handful of key essentials: your waffle maker, a batter bowl, and your trusty whisk! One of my secret weapons when it comes to cooking without refined sugar is Coconut Secret Coconut Crystals. I can’t even remember how long I’ve been using it but I discovered it maybe a year or so ago? I found it on a clearance shelf at the grocery store and wanted to give it a try. So I bought four cartons of it. And I’m currently down to one! It’s seriously awesome and swaps 1-to-1 exactly for white sugar. The awesome thing about it is it’s 100% organic, gluten-free, unrefined, non-GMO, and vegan (to name a few of the amazing benefits).  Pretty much it’s perfect in every way! So what are you waiting for? Make these for your Saturday morning breakfast, birthday breakfast, holiday breakfast… or heck! Any breakfast! I hope you love them as much as I do!
