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.

  2. We’re big waffle fans here. I usually mix in fruit. Can’t believe that I haven’t mixed in chocolate yet!! Yum!

    1. I love to mix in fruit as well, but Little Buddy’s waffle upon request is always chocolate chip. I bet you’ll love it.

  3. I *need* a waffle iron. Always something! We grew up having waffles every so often after church with another family – SO good.

    1. My son went into waffle deprivation mode late last year when our last one went kaput. Ours is a kitchen staple! 🙂

  4. We just found a waffle maker at a yard sale last weekend, been looking for a recipe to try it out. I think I just found it. Looks yummy.

  5. Boy does that sound good! I need to get a new waffle iron, I haven’t made waffles in ages.

    1. We wore our last waffle iron out. Little Buddy actually asked for one for Christmas! Can you tell how much he loves waffles?
