 I decided to wrap up #BreakfastWeek with one of my favorite breakfast treats…Chocolate Chip Belgian Waffles!

This is one of the most simple recipes to follow, but the outcome couldn’t bring more nostalgia and happiness.

Hope you enjoy my take on Belgian Waffles!

    Can you make the batter overnight so that you just have to cook the waffles in the morning? If you can, how?

      As long as your refrigerate the batter, you can definitely make the batter the prior night!

    Thanks!
