2 cup flour
2 cups buttermilk
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chunks
1/4 cup cooked, crumbled bacon
2 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch salt
2 eggs
Directions:
Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium sized bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, oil, vanilla and milk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir to combine. Fold in the chocolate and bacon. Follow the instructions included with your waffle iron to complete the waffles. For most large, Belgian-style waffle irons you would use 1 cup of batter for each waffle. I love my waffle maker.
Yield: 4 large Belgian-style waffles
My thoughts:
Much like the characters of Glee, I do think that chocolate and bacon go together even though, perhaps, they shouldn’t. When I saw that Vosges had launched a bacon & chocolate pancake mix, I knew, without even trying it that this was something I could make at home. While it is nothing like the waffles we had in Belgium this fall (although, now that I think of it, topping sugar waffles with chocolate was pretty common)it was actually really good. I was careful to only use the meaty bits of bacon not much fat, so it added a crispy, smoky note to the waffles not a greasy one. Anyway, chocolate + bacon + buttermilk waffles = over the top, decadent breakfast fun. Perhaps not fun that you’d want to eat every day, but definitely a delicious treat.
This sounds like breakfast heaven
Wow! These look great! I recently tried a bacon chocolate bar that was fantastic. I bet these would be delicious for breakfast with a side of scrambled eggs and a mimosa!
You've out done yourself Rachel!
This is an awesome breakfast; makes me wanna go out and buy a waffle maker. I think bacon and chocolate go well together too.
I have seen A LOT of bacon and chocolate sweets in the past year…most of which I was not fond of, but your waffles look amazing! My parents gave me a waffle maker for my birthday that for some inexplicable reason I have never even taken out of the box. This has inspired me to set aside my weekend buttermilk biscuit baking habit and start obsessing over waffles!
This sounds awesome.
OH! Great idea!
I'm def trying this this weekend.
It's our 5 year aniversary so I think I need to try something a step up from scrambled eggs. 🙂
I made chocolate bacon cupcakes once but they were not bacony enough, hopefully this will fulfill our bacon cravings!
