The best Chocolate Chickpea waffles

Chocolate Chickpea Waffles

I know when you think of chocolate, the last thing you think of is chickpeas. But these waffles are seriously the BEST, and they use the lil garbanzo bean! They are so rich, moist and chocolatey, plus they use oats as the flour so they are gluten-free! A great breakfast for kids or meal prep, or even for just a lazy weekend breakfast!
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings: 1 serving

Ingredients

For the batter:
  • 80 grams canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed, 1/2 cup
  • large egg
  • 1 large egg white
  • 35 grams rolled oats, 1/3 cup
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup plant based milk of choice, I use almond!
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
For the toppings:
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup, plus more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter

Instructions 

  1. In a blender, add all the ingredients for the batter. Blend on high until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter sit for about 5-10 minutes to thicken slightly.
  2. Heat up a waffle iron and use a spray cooking oil to lightly grease it. Depending on the size of your iron, this should make 2 large waffles or 4-5 mini waffles. (I love my Dash mini waffle iron!)
  3. If you'd prefer to make pancakes, grease a skillet and cook on medium-high heat for 2 minutes on each side. It should make about 3-4 pancakes.
  4. When they are still warm, top with your toppings and serve!
