These delicious chocolate waffles are high in protein, slightly sweet and have a nice chocolaty flavor which makes them delicious with or without the addition of syrup. The shortcut method is to add cocoa powder to your pancake and waffle mix, which is great in a pinch, or you can make them from scratch using the ingredients below. Either way, they are sure to be gobbled up in no time!
