You can use a waffle maker for these Chocolate Waffles if you have one, but we just used one of these heart shaped waffle moulds from Amazon UK.

If you want the waffles a bit crispier, then just tip them out of the mould onto a baking tray for the last 5 minutes or so.

Like them a bit more chocolatey? Then just add some extra cocoa powder, or a teaspoon of Chocolate Extract.

Finally, we need to mention cocoa powder. The nutritional values of cocoa powder do vary so you should check whichever brand you use.

Yes you can! This recipe can be frozen, but please remember to do the following;

Don’t forget to add a label with what it is, and on what date you put it in the freezer and – of course – defrost thoroughly before tucking in!

Can I use Greek yoghurt instead of natural yoghurt in the recipe?

Reply

    HollyMonday 7th February 2022

    Hi Julie, yes you can swap the natural yoghurt for Greek yoghurt you may need to adjust the calories accordingly, hope that helps!

What do I need to do to adjust removing the egg in the waffle recipes due to allergies?

Reply

    LisaSunday 24th January 2021

    Hi Deborah.
    You probably already know that you can buy egg replacers. We’ve not used them ourselves, so don’t know how they would affect this recipe. If you try it, please let us know how you get on.

Oooo what about adding protein powder ? Would I substitute the weight for the weight of the oats ?

Reply

    HollyFriday 16th October 2020

    Hi Victoria, it’s not something we have tried for the Chocolate waffles I wouldn’t substitute all of the oats for protein powder as they may end up a little rubbery once cooked you could try swapping 1 tbsp for your protein powder or serve the waffles with a protein rich Greek yogurt. Hope that helps!

Hi do you need a good processor. To blitz the oats. Thank you

Reply

    HollyThursday 1st October 2020

    Hi Jane, any food processor or bullet blender would work to blitz the oats into a fine powder. Hope that helps!

Could I use oat or wheat bran instead of blitzed oats?

Reply

    LisaFriday 19th June 2020

    Hi Nicola
    We’ve never tired this recipe with oat or wheat bran so can’t really say how successful it would be. It might affect the texture of the waffles and you may have to adjust the liquid added. If you do decide try it, please let us know how it goes.

Reply

    Hi Ceri,

    They should still be a little soft in the middle, and crisp on the outside ????
