Chocolate Whole-Wheat Waffles

IMG_3208

IMG_3205

One of the less realized impacts of Chris’ crazy schedule back in Wyoming was that we had moved away from cooking and eating big breakfasts together as a family.  Since we never had dinner together on Nantucket, we had developed a giant family breakfast tradition every morning before we walked him to work.  That tradition got lost in Gillette and, alone, I pretty much never made much more than oatmeal for breakfast every morning.  Now that we get to eat meals together, we are reviving our big breakfasts on weekend mornings, which is a great excuse to play around with new recipes.

Chocolate waffles were Chris’ idea yesterday, and as soon as I heard that, I was in the kitchen and on it.  This recipe is an adaption from my standard waffle recipe, though a little sweeter.  It turned out to be a fabulous backdrop for the grown in the US kiwis we found at the grocery store last week.  I didn’t have any chocolate chips on hand when I made it, but I couldn’t help thinking that a handful of dark chocolate chips thrown in the batter would have really made these divine.  Chocolate chips or not, this recipe is a keeper.

Chocolate Whole-Wheat Waffles

An Amber Original

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup  butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

In a medium bowl stir together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in center of flour mixture; set aside.

In another medium bowl beat eggs slightly; stir in milk, butter, and vanilla. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be slightly lumpy).

Pour batter onto grids of a preheated waffle maker (use a regular or Belgian waffle baker). Close lid quickly; do not open until done. Bake according to manufacturers directions. When done, use a fork to lift waffle off grid. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm.  Garnish with powdered sugar and fresh fruit as desired.  Makes 9  6 inch waffles.

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
