Churros Waffles with Warm Chocolate Dipping Sauce

Pareve

Yield 8-10 waffles

To be honest, I struggled with the decision to place these in the breakfast chapter or the dessert chapter. Churros waffles are certainly great for dessert, but sometimes … you just need a real “special occasion” breakfast, and they are perfect for those times. Either way you serve them, they’re bound to be a big hit!

2 cups flour

¹⁄ cup brown sugar

1 teaspoonbaking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon kosher salt

1 cup soy milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 eggs

¾ cup oil

Coating

½ cup sugar

2 Tablespoons cinnamon

Warm Chocolate Dipping Sauce

¾ cup nondairy whip,not whipped

2 (3.5-ounce) bars pareve dark chocolate, chopped

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.

Add milk, vanilla, eggs, and oil. Using a wooden spoon, stir until combined and batter is smooth.

Cook according to waffle maker’s instructions, using ¼-¹⁄ cup batter per waffle.

Prepare the coating: In a small bowl, stir together sugar and cinnamon. As soon as you take the waffle out of the waffle maker, spray it with nonstick cooking spray (so the coating will adhere), then sprinkle cinnamon-sugar over the entire surface. Flip and repeat on the other side.

Prepare the warm chocolate dipping sauce: Heat the whip in a small pot until it starts to bubble around the edges. Turn off heat; add chocolate, stirring until chocolate is melted and sauce is totally smooth.

Serve waffles warm, with chocolate sauce.

Variation: To make the waffles dairy, replace soy milk with milk. To make the chocolate sauce dairy, replace pareve whip with heavy cream, and 1 bar of the dark chocolate with 1 bar of dairy chocolate.

Plan Ahead: Prepare waffles and freeze them without the coating. Rewarm (uncovered); then spray and coat.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
