Chocolate chip waffles are like inviting America’s favorite cookie to breakfast. These chocolate chip waffles will become a favorite.

It’s just hard to beat a big stack of buttermilk pancakes or waffles on weekend mornings, but when you turn them into these chocolate chip waffles you better believe you’ve got everyone’s attention. When I announce that chocolate chip waffles are almost ready, I can hear Little Buddy’s feet hit the floor running. Forget that sleepy-eyed look of other mornings, he’s raring to go.

The recipe comes together really quickly so if you are making these for a large crowd, you may want to go ahead and preheat a baking sheet in your oven at about 200º Fahrenheit. As waffles are ready, place them on the baking sheet and return them to the oven. When you are ready to serve your family, just remove the baking sheet from the oven and place them on a platter for serving.

Here’s how I make them.

    These waffles are awesome! The directions could be better though. Beat the eggs before adding to the milk.

    These are great! Kids loved them
    This may be kind ofor obvious to every one else, but I was surprised how huge this recipe was..it wasn’t until I ran out of buttermilk that I actually thought about the proportions (I substituted plain yogurt and milk, which worked just fine). I think I got 15 wafflesQ out of a Waring 7″ round waffle maker. They’ll probably freeze just fine. I’ll definitely make them again.

    1. Hi Mike,
      I’m glad you enjoyed the waffles! I’m glad your substitution turned out well – one thing I do if I’ve run out of buttermilk is make my Homemade Buttermilk Substitute – so easy. I hope that helps.
      These will freeze fine – I like to flash freeze them on a baking sheet, then place in freezer bags so that I can just take out what I want to reheat at the time.
      Thanks again for letting me know you enjoyed them! 🙂

  3. Just made a batch of these using half white chocolate and half semi sweet. OMG! They are so good. Thanks for the fab recipe, xo
