These crunchy, delicious Coconut Cherry Chocolate Vegan Waffles really pack in the nutrient power, thanks to a powerhouse of good ingredients, including coconut, cherries, dark chocolate, chia, and whole grain flour in the mix. Light in added sugars, salt, and fat, you can feel really good about this healthy vegan waffle recipe, which uses aquafaba (bean liquid) to obtain a light fluffy texture sans eggs. This waffle recipe is just as yummy for dessert, with a scoop of coconut ice cream, as it is for breakfast.
These chocolate waffles have just the right touch of dark chocolate chips in the mix, though you can add them on top for extra chocolate goodness! These healthy vegan waffles also rely on the flavor combo of cherry chocolate, which is one of my all time favorite pairings. Try serving these waffles with a topping of cherries (dried, fresh or canned), chocolate, and chopped nuts, if you like.
