Chocolate Mochi Waffles

Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama + Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl to create awesome healthy recipes each week! This week’s theme = Free For All!

You’re all probably already well aware that I love and adore breakfast food (let’s face it, how can you not *-*)–I recently unearthed my mini waffle maker (it’s the cutest thing ever, and only cost $6 at TJ Maxx! :O!), so what better a time than now to make waffles again?!

After the success that was our Peanut Mochi from late last year, my friend and I wanted to try out some more kitchen experimentations with glutinous rice flour since I still have a couple bags left. Thus, we bring you…chocolate mochi waffles! :D

If you’ve never had mochi waffles, now would be a great time to try em’! <3 These are a lot chewier than your regular crisp waffle, and just as delicious!

…and how can you say no to dessert for breakfast? Waffle ice cream sandwiches, here we come!

Originally, we were going to make matcha waffles but since we’d made another matcha dessert already (recipe to appear shortly!), we figured we’d change up the flavors a bit!

We decided to top em’ with some maple syrup, dried fruit (blueberries, cherries + cranberries) and hemp hearts, but you can do whatever the hecks you want! #youdoyou
