In my world, this is dessert.
But that being said, I ate it at 3 in the afternoon (mostly because I wanted to make it for you, and I refuse to photograph using artificial light, necessitating a mid-day desert for picture taking purposes).
Breakfast in my land, is savory. Although I occasionally indulge in sugar loaded calorie bomb in the morning hours only because for some reason it’s socially acceptable, but if we step back and look at it objectively, this is dessert.
Since I put beer in your breakfast on multiple occasions (Like this, and this and don’t forget about this), I would never judge you for eating this pre-noon. BUT, it’s dessert. And it needs to be served with a stout that’s almost warm. Maybe a sipin’ stout that’s been aged in a bourbon barrel, or a smokey porter.
But it’s definitely dessert. Even if you eat it in the middle of the day.
Ingredients
- 3 tbs butter
- ½ cup stout
- 2 tbs corn syrup
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/3cup milk
- 2/3 cup stout
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, divided
- 1/3 cup sugar
- Ice Cream for serving
Directions
- Add the butter, 1/2 cup stout and corn syrup to a sauce pan. Cook over medium high heat until butter has melted and the mixture has just started to boil.
- Turn off heat and stir in 1 cup chocolate chips until completely melted. Allow to cool slightly before using.
- Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturers specifications.
- In a large bowl add the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt, stir.
- In a microwave safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and milk. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir and repeat until melted. Stir in the beer, vegetable oil, vanilla and only the yolks of the two eggs.
- Add the whites to separate bowl, along with the sugar. Whip with a hand mixer until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients, add the chocolate milk mixture and stir until just combined. Gently fold into the egg whites until just incorporated.
- Cook in waffle iron according to manufacturers specifications, using butter flavored cooking spray if indicated.
- Plate waffles, top with desired amount of ice cream, drizzle with chocolate sauce. Serve with a malty stout.
Yes. Chocolate & beer for breakfast. SCORE!
Is that Old Rasputin I spy?
Yep. It’s one of my favorite go-to stouts. I almost always have some in the fridge. I love the bourbon barrel aged Old Rasputin, I even converted a non-beer person with that one.
Holy cow, a waffle sundae! I will eat this for breakfast, lunch, dinner AND dessert!
It was so good! I was not planning to eat as much of it as I did. And the hot fudge sauce saves really well.
I can’t even see straight right now.
That is ONE SEXY ass waffle.
OMG. I want to wake up to this every day for the rest of my life!
I love how wonderfully chocolatey that waffle looks! This is definitely dessert, but definitely shouldn’t only be relegated to the after-dinner hour
I should have taken some pictures of the inside of the waffle, it was almost brownie like.
I’m literally salivating all over my keyboard.
In my book that is suitable for just about any time of the day (or night)!
Decadent. delicious and not enough of it….Wow ~ I love it!
um, yes.
Yes please! This is my kind of dessert! I really need to get a waffle iron so I can make these chocolate waffles.
I’ve only had one for about a year and I use it much more than I thought I would.
Ben just saw this and demanded this be made this weekend. Who am I to say no?!!
Yay! I hope you loooooove it.
Yessssss, please. This looks like what I need to be eating for breakfast, lunch AND dinner! Love it!
OMG! do you have any idea how GOOD this looks?! i want to grab that plate and run into my room and eat in peace and quiet. Clearly, i won’t be sharing either…lol
Ooooh, chocolate waffles? With ice cream?! Yes, please. ^_^
Chocolate, ice cream, and beer…for breakfast? Heck yes! This looks like perfection.
Oh my… this looks dangerously delicious ~ and I can’t wait to have some! When can you deliver?
It’s really a great recipe. Made it yesterday and I still can’t stop thinking about it!
gah i love waffles!!! And I love the idea of making chocolate stout waffle sundaes!!!
Whoa, mama!!! I’ll be dreaming of this breakfast/dessert tonight.
I’ll never look at stout the same! You are a genius!
Sweet fancy moses, this looks AMAZING. Now I think I’m going to need to get my hands on either a chocolate sundae or a chocolate waffle today … WANT!
This is simply a showstopper St. Patrick’s Day dessert….Did you use the Artisan Waffle Maker (which rotates) by Kitchen Aid?….Thanks for the tip!!
I didn’t, but my waffle iron is on it’s last legs, I’ll look into that one!
