Healthy Chocolate Almond Flour Waffles! These chocolate goodies are not only easy to make, but high in protein and healthy fat. You only need a few healthy ingredients to make these light, fluffy, dairy free and delicious waffles. Great for meal prep and freezable too!
I know you won't complain about waking up to Chocolate Almond Flour Waffles they're a spin off of my Healthy Almond Flour Waffles and Almond Flour Pancake Recipe!
I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to realize that my waffle maker is a critical meal prep tool. By that I mean, waffles are so much easier than pancakes to make. Just pour the batter and let the waffle maker do the work. There's no precarious flipping or manning the stove to add more batter involved.
If you want to start with prepping a healthy breakfast, definitely START HERE!
These chocolate almond flour waffles make 3 large waffles, and I had them ready in under 15 minutes. How can you pass that up?
Waffles really are the simplest make ahead breakfasts to meal prep besides protein overnight oats and they are good for you too! Waffle maker, where have you been all my life?
I do want to point out that when you measure your flour, whether it's for this recipe, or others, you have to be careful. You need to measure the flour by the spoon into a measuring cup.
Do not dunk a measuring cup into a bag of flour because you will get 1.5 to 2 times the amount of flour, whatever your baking will be super dry.
Note, this is what you should do with all flours, but I've especially noticed that grain free flours like almond and coconut are particularly unforgiving when you measure improperly.
Now that we got that technicality out of the way, let's make some chocolate almond flour waffles and get yourself some meal prep containers so that you can eat healthy on the go!

Meal Prep Chocolate Almond Flour Waffles
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon almond extract or vanilla
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup cacao powder unsweetened, or cocoa
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat a waffle maker to medium heat. Mine was set at a 3. Grease the inside with oil or spray with cooking spray liberally.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup and extract until the eggs are broken down.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and fold to combine. Measure the flour the right way!
- Transfer the batter to the waffle maker, about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the batter will make 1 full size waffle.
- Cook 5-7 minutes then flip and cook another 5 minutes. Remember, these are grain-free so they will need a little extra baking than regular flours.
- When the waffle is ready, you will be able to easily remove it from the waffle maker with a spatula.
- Cook the remaining batter then slice the waffles into quarters and divide into meal prep containers.
Notes
- Recipe yields 3 full size waffles or 12 1/4 waffles. Each meal prep containers 3 1/4 waffles.
- Nutritional values reflect 1 meal prep or 3 quarter waffles.Â
- Measure the flour the right way or you will end up with dry waffles. Results may differ if you use different ingredients, different brands of flours than I did and/or did not measure properly.
- Use almond flour not almond meal or your waffles will turn out runny.

Hi was wondering what the serving size is is it per bath of waffles or per one waffle ?
Thank you
That info is listed under the Recipe Notes under cooking instructions for you!
I just wanted to say that I used baking powder...1 tsp as I was out of soda and these turned out super fluffy and delicious. Great recipe!
I love you version of these waffles without the chocolate, so I decided to try the chocolate ones too! The first time I made them I didn’t read the recipe closely and used baking powder and they were great. This time I used soda and the flavor was very strong (although my soda is also pretty old). Either way they work just as well using powder!
These were great with the exception of the over powering baking soda taste! Is it possible to use less?
Is your baking soda old? You will definitely taste it more if it's old. 1 tsp isn't that much baking soda. You could drop it back to 3/4 tsp and see what happens. I have not tried it.
Hi! I’m wondering if anyone has tried making these with chocolate protein powder instead of the cacao powder. Thanks in advance!
Has anyone hd any luck with making a big batch & freezing?
I made these tonight. My son can't have chicken eggs so we used duck eggs. But with all the ingredients as listed, the dough was super liquidy. I ended up adding probably double the amount of almond flour to get it to a consistency that I could use for a waffle maker. The good news is these were delicious...my kids loved them.
Glad they loved them. I've had other people make these and never have to make adjustments so not sure why you had to. Different almond flours will yield different results so if you used something different than I did, that could be why. Grain free baking is very particular.
Hi,
These look delicious!
Can you sub apple sauce and/or chia seeds for the eggs to make it vegan?
Thanks
Hi Crystal, I have not tried any substitutions. If you do, please let me know so I can update the recipe card so others know!
My kids loved these! I was skeptical they would stick to the waffle iron but they didn't! Yummy!
Yeah I'm so happy to hear that!
Where is the chocolate in the recipe?
It is there.
Waffles are better than pancakes for meal prep! So much easier to make! But waffles are always better than pancakes cuz soggy food always sucks ha ha
True!
