Sorry to leave you all hanging with that delicious stack of…
Chocolate Waffles!
Pure torture to live another day without these.
If you don’t have a waffle iron, you have two options:
- Make these into pancakes.
- Go buy a waffle iron.
Bitter Chocolate Waffles
~These waffles have no added sweetener, so they are bitter. If you are not a fan of bitter chocolate, top your waffles with lots of fresh fruit! Gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and, of course, sugar-free!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups oat flour (simply blend oats in blender until smooth)
- 3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 cup water or milk substitute
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons oil or applesauce
- Optional: Add a few tablespoons of ground flax for extra fiber and omega’s. Substitute 1/2 of oat flour for protein powder of choice. Add a handful of chopped unsweetened chocolate for an extra boost of flavor!
First, combine the dry ingredients. Then, add wet and mix until smooth. Follow your waffle iron’s instructions to cook. Make sure you cook it thoroughly. I made the mistake of taking them out too soon, and I ended up with a bowl-full of waffle pieces!
-
Top with any combination of nut, fruit, coconut, peanut butter, chocolate shavings, or anything else you can imagine! They freeze well, so you can make a big batch to save for later:
Frozen Waffles
Simply throw them in your toaster to warm. Much better for you (and tastier!) than Eggo’s frozen waffles.
This batch is topped with a dollop of Peanut Butter Frosting, Banana Slices, and Shaved Unsweetened Chocolate.
You could probably make my One Size Fits all Pancakes made with brown rice flour in a waffle iron, too, if you are feeling adventurous.
If you haven’t tried the Peanut Butter, Banana, Chocolate combo yet, do it. It’s worth it. I have so many recipes with that delectable combo.

Try not to drool all over your computer.
In other news, I have finally hopped on the Twitter bandwagon. Hopefully I’ll be able to figure the whole thing out. My Twitter name is SugarFreeAlex, so make sure to follow me!THOUGHT-PROVOKING, MIND-PRODDING QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Do you have a twitter account? If so, any tips or tricks?
Also, what is your favorite waffle topping? You already know mine!
I’m dropping everything right now and making these. I’ll report back

YAYYAY YAYYYY!! Cant wait
Oh, these look so good and very easy! I love when I have all the ingredients AND all the things I can eat
I just love your site!
Those look heavenly! Good thing I have a waffle iron! haha
hot off the printer.
I’ve been in a waffle mood lately so I can’t wait to try these!
Let me know how it goes!
Those look delishy friend!!
welcome to the wonderful twitter verse! now if I only had a waffle iron…
ALEX! you are amazingggggggggg.
these look so good! do you think they wud work with egg replacer??
Have never tried it with an egg replacement, but worth a shot! Let me know how it goes!
AHHHH I am SOOO making these!! and with OAT FLOUR! eeee!
Last week I made the chocolate waffle recipes from here:http://jamiecooksitup.blogspot.com/2010/11/chocolate-waffles.html
*ashamed*
I’m so glad you came up with this healthy version!
I love how you sandwiched the banana slices in there! Awesome healthy version of chocolate waffles
For some reason waffles always look more delicious than pancakes. If only I had a waffle maker. May try the pancake version though, although I really do prefer waffles. haha
yet there is nothing bitter about how sweet these look!!! <3
Awwww
How sweet! Thanks 
Gosh, they look amazing. How long did you cook them on each side. I would think these could burn easily. I suppose you could make a chocolate sauce with the Baker’s unsweetened squares for a drizzle.
You’ll have to follow your waffle iron’s instructions because every one is different. For mine, I didn’t have to flip them at all. I didn’t burn one! I left them in for at least five minutes, and they were still not burnt! Worked very well, actually.
These look wonderful!!! I love unsweetened chocolate! beauitful pics too!
[...] yesterday was different. Yesterday I filled up on these incredible chocolate pancakes. The wonderful Alex did it again with another genius recipe! [...]
Made some, think they would work better in a traditional iron then my Belgium one because of the oat flour, I’m thinking Spelt next time.
Of course this did not stop us from scarfing the down and I agree you can leave them in awhile, pretty much until the iron stops steaming is what I do with regular waffles.
I’m thinking pancake form, but with bananas cooked in…
Glad you liked them, but sorry they didn’t turn out perfectly for you! And yes, bananas would taste fabulous in them!
Ooh, those look awesome! I especially love the oat flour and that peanut butter frosting looks crazy good
Holy Moly…..are you kidding me with these waffles?! I think I might have to heat up the old iron for breakfast tomorrow
These look DIVINE!!!!
Genius!
xxoo
This is definitely one of my new favorite recipes! I couldn’t decide on a topping, so I just piled on everything I could think of at once. It was awesome.
Thanks, Sarah! Glad you like it
Yum! Is the one and a half cups oat flour measured before blending the oats or after blending?
After blending
[...] out my family’s waffle maker since it has a tendency to mutilate waffles. But after seeing Alex’s Bitter Chocolate Waffles, I knew I had to risk it. Not a single one stuck! That is weekend highlight for [...]

oh. my. god. those look amazing
[...] I had Alex’s Bitter Chocolate Waffles I loved these they are very good! Thanks [...]
these are amazing!!! i changed some things around (again
) and they turned out perfectly. garbanzo bean flour instead of oat flour, flax eggs instead of real eggs, half and half water/almond milk, and applesauce for the oil. topped this one with blackberry jam (not completely sugar free, but mmm) and the one in the iron now has peanut butter in the batter. 
thanks for the delish recipe!
So glad you enjoyed them, Sharon! They sounds delicious right now…mmm…
whoaaaa amazing! thanks for this idea. I used sweet potato for 2 T of the oil/applesauce + 1 T oil, and flax eggs for the eggs. Delisssh!
So glad you enjoyed them, Natalie!!!
[...] body wanted chocolate too! I saw this recipe on Spoonful of Sugar Free and had to try it this [...]
love this website! the chocolate waffles are an amazing idea that I’m going to try soon
