S’mores Waffles with Coffee

Must Try Recipes

Everyone knows that waffles are ideal for breakfast, right? You might be a bit confused: S’mores Waffles? But how can we combine these two? Wait and see!

The perfect waffles are golden on the outside, with a light crispy crust and an airy texture on the inside. While the preparation of the dough does not require a mixer or special equipment, for their baking in the well-known honeycomb form, you will need a unique shape or a waffle maker.

There are different types of waffles. Assortments include American waffles (thin and less dense than most waffles), Belgian waffles (world famous), Liege waffles (sweet, small and dense, named after the Belgian city), potato waffles, Stroppwafels waffles (thin Dutch waffles filled with syrup) and Hong Kong-style waffles (large, round waffles).

Since I like to try new things, today’s recipe is an exciting combination of S’mores and waffles. The waffles are ideal for breakfast, along with fresh fruit or chocolate sauce. And as a bonus, coffee is a perfect match for them!

The waffles batter itself is made with whole-wheat flour and ripe bananas. You don’t need to add extra sugar to the batter because the ripe bananas will be enough to add the required sweetness. The whole grain flour also ensures that you’ll get plenty of fiber to help balance out this delicious treat.

Nothing more suitable for breakfast when you want to feel pampered than these waffles that have an excellent taste and in addition! These waffles heat up beautifully if you put them in a toaster oven for just a few minutes.

  • 1 medium egg
  • 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond or coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup of Kohana cold brew concentrate
  • 1 cup of whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder

the chocolate sauce:

the peanut butter mixture:

  • 4 tablespoons of natural peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon of pure coffee extract
  • 8 large marshmallows

Instructions:

the batter:

  1. Place the graham cracker in a food processor and pulse until finely ground.
  2. Add in the bananas and keep pulsing until they are well combined.
  3. Whisk the egg with milk, cold brew concentrate, and vanilla extract in a medium mixing bowl.
  4. Add the banana mixture to the bowl and carefully whisk to combine thoroughly.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour with baking soda.
  6. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir carefully to combine but do not overmix.
  7. Preheat your waffle iron while you prepare the other ingredients.

the chocolate sauce:

  1. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave.
  2. Add in the pure coffee extract and stir thoroughly to combine fully.

the peanut butter mixture:

  1. In another small bowl, combine the peanut butter with pure coffee extract. Stir well to combine.

making the waffles:

  1. Spray or grease the waffle boards with coconut cooking oil spray.
  2. Turn on the waffle maker and heat it well to the highest position.
  3. Use a ladle to transfer the batter onto the waffle iron. According to the size of your machine, the amount of batter needed may differ.
  4. Close the waffle iron without locking it. Leave to cook for about 4 minutes. You will still have to experiment with the times because there are many devices; some bake slower, others faster.
  5. Take out the waffles and slice them in half.
  6. Spread half a tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture onto one half of the waffle.
  7. Top with a marshmallow and microwave for about 5 to 10 seconds. As an option, you can also roast a marshmallow slightly over a gas stove and then put it on top of the waffle.
  8. Drizzle the other half of the waffle with one tablespoon of the chocolate sauce.
  9. Put the S’more Waffle together like a sandwich, and enjoy!

You can try to replace the marshmallows with fresh fruits: berries, mangoes, bananas. I think even frozen fruits would work too.
