Chocolate Cake Mix Waffles (with only 4 ingredients) are the easiest way to WOW your family and guests with a special breakfast! It’s the sweet and chocolatey cake mix you love, made fluffy and crispy in your trusty waffle iron, then topped with your favorite syrups, fruits, and more. Try these for a quick and fun Valentine’s breakfast!
Word is out that you can make waffles with a cake mix so I had to see for myself, and yes, it really works! But more importantly, they’re completely delicious! And breakfast couldn’t get any easier, or dessert for that matter. Four ingredients and just a few minutes of prep is all it takes for these decadent waffles, that taste just like cake of course!
Chocolate Cake Mix Waffles
Could there be a more perfect Valentine’s Day breakfast to make for your loved one? Kids would go crazy for these too! I served them here with Nutella sauce, which is also unbelievably easy to make. All you need to do is whisk a few tbsp of milk with Nutella (you can also warm it if you’d prefer a warm sauce).
Wait… people are eating these chocolate waffles for dessert? Ok, I guess. But why wouldn’t you start your day with dessert waffles if you could?
I keep wondering if their company will ever come out with a Nutella sauce (perfect for ice cream, cakes, pancakes, and waffles and just to squeeze directly in your mouth) but until then I just go this easy route. You could also use chocolate ganache if you’d like for these.
And fresh strawberries I think are a must, we all know and love the way they pair with chocolate so here it’s a match that’s meant to be.
You can also use other cake mix flavors. I’m excited to try out more, but chocolate always comes first, right?
Enjoy!
