Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Waffles with chocolate chunks folded in are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, they make you want to sit down with a cup of coffee and just enjoy each and every mouthful while you daydream. These waffles are extremely decadent and luxurious while not being overly sweet just sweet enough. Like the story with Goldilocks and the Three Bears, these waffles are just right in the amount of sweetness they have.
The crispy exterior and the crunch of the bits of chocolate add such a nice textural component to the waffle while also being soft on the inside. If you are a chocolate lover and are looking for a waffle recipe that is “Just Right” then this is the waffle for you. Unbelievably, these waffles are not only vegan, and gluten-free they are also grain-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free as well. While not losing their flavor or changing their texture. Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Waffles will become a new family favorite.
Gluten-Free Chocolate Vegan Waffles:
Furthermore, these waffles have Yacon Syrup in them. If you read my blog then you have heard me mention Yacon before. Yacon is extracted from the roots of the Yacon plant which is found in the Andes in South America. According to research, it is supposed to improve diabetes, kidney issues, and digestive issues. (1)
Yacon syrup is manufactured in much the same way that maple syrup is made. Feel free to check out my articles on Cassava Flour, Yacon Syrup, and Organic Hazelnut Truffle by Manna Butter.

Positivity:
My quote for today is one I have always loved by Marvin J. Ashton. “If we could look into each other’s hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces I think we would treat each other, much more gently, with more love, gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.” Wouldn’t that be lovely? Perhaps each of us can try our hardest to improve the world we live in by being more caring to those around us. Have a lovely day and may it be blessed!!
