01
Step 1
Start by heating up your waffle iron according to the instructions it came with. In a large bowl, mix together the brown rice flour, sorghum flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk the zucchini, soy milk, eggs, water, oil, and honey until everything is well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until the batter is evenly moistened.

Step 2
Give the waffle iron a good spray with cooking spray to keep things from sticking. Scoop about a cup of batter onto the iron, close the lid, and cook for around 5 minutes, or until your waffle is nice and crispy on the outside. Don’t forget to spray the iron again between waffles to keep them from sticking. Keep going until all the batter is used up and enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
These waffles combine the freshness of zucchini with the rich taste of chocolate, making them both nutritious and delicious. They are naturally gluten-free, perfect for those with dietary restrictions or anyone looking for a wholesome breakfast option. The zucchini adds moisture and a subtle earthiness without overpowering the chocolate flavor.
How to serve
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey for added sweetness. Fresh berries or a dollop of Greek yogurt make great toppings. For an indulgent treat, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat them in a toaster or oven to keep them crisp. You can also freeze the waffles individually and warm them directly from the freezer for a quick breakfast option.
