Overnight Chocolate Waffles with Strawberry Syrup (she: Jana)

Hey there Or So She Says readers! It’s Jana from Double the Deliciousness. I’m so excited to bring you one of my favorite, easy and amazingly delicious breakfast recipes today. Overnight Chocolate Waffles….yes, you read that right!  And to top that off (literally) I have some delightful freshly made strawberry syrup.  Chocolate and strawberry; a match made in heaven.

These are so great for busy mornings, or lazy mornings in my case…I’m so NOT a morning person!  I’d way rather stay up an extra 10 minutes to make the batter and then sleep in an extra 10 minutes!  In the morning heat up your waffle iron and cook away.  The strawberry syrup can be made ahead of time as well, and can also be frozen.  So when you find some strawberries on sale, stock up and make a whole bunch of strawberry syrup to freeze.  Trust me, you’ll want a lot!  These would also be a great Easter morning breakfast.  One your whole family will love!

Overnight Chocolate Waffles

2 1/4 cups flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon yeast

2 eggs

1 3/4 cup milk

1/4 cup butter

1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

In your blender combine flour, sugar and yeast.

Put butter and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and melt in microwave at 30 second intervals until smooth.

Now add the eggs and milk in the blender with the flour mixture.  Blend until combined and smooth.  Cover and place in fridge for up to 24 hours.

In the morning heat up your waffle iron.  While it is warming up, fold the rest of the chocolate chips into the batter.  Cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions.

Strawberry Syrup

2 cups pureed strawberries

1/2  cup sugar

Puree strawberries in your blender until smooth, let it go for 3-4 minute.  Add sugar and mix to combine.  Pour over waffles, pancakes, ice cream, or whatever else you can think of.  Or you can put it in plastic freezer containers and freeze for future use.
