Hi Bold Bakers!
It’s a Bold Baking Breakfast fiesta! This week, I show you how to make homemade Churro Waffles with a rich, chocolate sauce. Why make just regular waffles when you can make them over-the-top, BIG and BOLD?! AND in this episode, I’m excited to introduce you to my new puppy, Waffles. I hope you enjoy them both.

Ingredients
Waffles
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2/3 cups canola oil
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2½ cups buttermilk
Churro topping - Cinnamon Sugar
- ½ Cup of Sugar
- ¼ Cup ground Cinnamon
- ½ cup/50g Melted Butter
Chocolate Ganache (Sauce)
- 8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate (we like 72 percent cacao)
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Waffle Batter
- In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar.
- In a jug, whisk together eggs, oil, buttermilk and vanilla extract.
- Whisk to spell out W.A.F.F.L.E.S, or 7 times roughly. A few Lumps and bumps are all good. Just like pancake batter, they work themselves out while the batter rests
- Refrigerate for 10-20 minutes and get working on your sauce and cinnamon sugar.
Chocolate Ganache (Sauce)
- Heat the cream until it is about to boil, then turn it off
- Pour over the chopped chocolate and whisk until smooth and shiny. Set aside until needed
Churro Topping
- Melt the butter and set aside
- Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a bowl together until well combined.
- Cooking Waffles: pre-heat your waffle iron to medium heat. Grease with butter
- Spoon the batter into a preheated waffle iron.
- Cook the waffles until golden and crisp. (all waffle irons are different but roughly around 3-4 minutes)
- TIP: Resist the urge to open the waffle iron while cooking so you don't let out all that lovely steam that will give you a chrisp, brown waffle
- Once fully cooked immediately brush with melted butter and sprinkle over you cinnamon sugar. Turn over and do the same on the other side. Don't be shy with the cinnamon sugar, it's the best part.
- Drizzle over the warm, rich chocolate sauce to get that full Churro experience. If you are feeling extra BOLD then finish with freshly whipped cream like I did!!
I made these for my family – and they were so easy to make and delicous. The recipe made enough for the 5 of us to have heaps to eat! Just delicious, thanks Gemma
Made these today. They were wonderful! Can I make the batter the night before. Then cook the next morning
Hey Gemma!
I loved the recipe but my waffles weren’t crispy. What is it that I’m doing wrong?
These were amazing, and not hard to make. The result is SO decadent and delicious. More like a dessert than breakfast!
God almighty will bless you,cause have learn allot from you.thanks
we just bought a waffle maker & made your recipe last night, i made my own buttermilk using milk & white vinegar. was so delicious. had it with crumbed chicken drumettes. devine. thank you for sharing your recipes. your fans from durban, south africa.
Another family verified recipe!
I used both the traditional stove top waffle iron and the mini electric waffle maker. The electric waffle maker heat up more evenly but both yield equally yummy waffles. It’s your recipe who plays the magic! Thanks!
Would this work with gluten free flour mix and xanthum gum for a gluten free option. I’m adding a waffle iron to my shopping list, I hope it works! 🙂

Hey Gemma, first of all, you are the BEST and thank you for all the recipes
