This Healthy Chocolate Chip Waffle is reminiscent of a Waffle House favorite. This waffle doesn’t sacrifice on flavor, but it’s much cleaner than its inspiration. Make a bunch to freeze for a quick breakfast!

Cauliflower & Eggplant Noodle Pumpkin Lasagna (Recipe)
You can do anything with cauliflower.
Really… I bet you could even make ice cream. Maybe… that might be weird.
I’ve made cauliflower pizza, pancakes, waffles, sriracha muffins… the sky is the limit. Why not sheets of noodles? It sounds strange, but it works!

Falafel Waffle
Falafel Waffle Falafel Waffle
You know you want to say it again.
It may seem strange to make a savory waffle, but I assure you that this Falafel Waffle is not awful. To make this falafel-like waffle, I used chickpea flour (aka garbanzo bean flour). You can find it at most grocery stores – I know Bob’s Red Mill makes a version.
I’m still new to waffle-making, but this one came out perfectly fluffy. I was amazed since I straight up forgot that I wanted to use baking powder!

Hatch Chile-Cherry Breakfast Wrap
Cooking is hard on one foot.
Rather, motivating to cook is hard.
I’m feeling a bit better now – limping much faster – but it was a struggle earlier in the week. Sunday morning it took me 3 hours to convince myself to get up to make breakfast. If you know me at all, you know that if I delay a meal, the struggle is real. When I finally dragged my ass off the couch, I knew I had to make it worth the effort. That’s just what I did with the strange sweet ‘n spicy combo.
Hatch chiles are only in season for a few weeks. They’re grown in one region, the Hatch Valley, along the Rio Grande in New Mexico. The terroir gives them an deliciously strange smoky, earthy flavor. I’m in love.
Craving some sweetness for breakfast, I loaded up my last Julian Bakery coconut wrap with cherries too. I sautéed the hatch chiles and cherries with a bit of turkey (totally optional), and I added a schmear of Roots sriracha-mango hummus. (I had to mix in more sriracha… some like it hot!)
It’s not breakfast without #yolkporn. If you’ve never bitten into a wrap or sandwich that’s stuffed with a runny egg… well, you just haven’t lived. The joy in insurmountable.
I’m not exaggerating.
That’s a wrap.

Hatch Chile-Cherry Breakfast Wrap
- 1/2 C cherries, pitted and sliced
- 1 Hatch chile, sliced
- 1 oz turkey (optional)
- 2 T hummus
- 1 wrap
- 1 whole egg
In a small pan, sauté cherries, chile, and turkey (if using). Meanwhile, shcmear a wrap (or toast) with hummus. When cherries and chiles are softened, transfer to the wrap.
In the same pan, cook an egg to your desired level of doneness. Place egg on top of wrap, roll up, and enjoy!
Note: I added basil for garnish.

I know you’ll ask… yes, I really like the wraps. But yes, the are extremely expensive. I buy them and hoard the pack for a couple months.
Have you tried a hatch chile?
How do you like your eggs?
