Chocolate-Hazelnut Waffles

SheSpeaks, #Torani, Breakfast

Do you LOVE Nutella?  Yeah, so do I.  Unfortunately, I don't always have it in the house. You see, I am the only one that eats it so it goes bad before I finish a jar.

A few weeks ago I was sent a bottle of Torani Hazelnut Syrup from my friends at SheSpeaks. I will be honest, when I first opened the box I was less than thrilled with the syrup flavors I received. I received a bottle of Peppermint Syrup and a bottle of Hazelnut Syrup. Other than Amaretto, those are my least favorite flavors. Ever.  Stink!

I was stumped for days on what I was going to make with the syrups.  I did NOT want to try to pull off a recipe that I really did not like the flavor of.  I'm just not one of those bloggers, if I tell you I like something, I really do like it.

Then. It hit me!  HELLO!  BRANDI! Wake up! You LOVE Nutella and it is made with hazelnuts!  DUH!  Oh my gosh!  I was so right! I DO love Nutella and it IS made with hazelnuts!

Then it came down to what I was going to make. The girls wanted chocolate chip waffles for breakfast this morning and it hit me! I could make chocolate waffles and add some hazelnut flavor and oh my gosh, I just about could not wrap my head around how good this was going to be.

Chocolate-Hazelnut Waffles
Adapted from: Annie's Eats

1 2/3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
2 Tbsp Sugar
1/2 Cup Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Baking Soda (so, I totally forgot to add this the batch I made and they turned out fine)
1/2 Cup Egg Substitute
4 Tbsp Butter, melted 
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Tbsp Torani Hazelnut Syrup
2 Cups Buttermilk*
3/4 Cup Mini Chocolate Chips**

Directions:
Preheat waffle iron.

In medium bowl, combine Flour, Sugar, Cocoa Powder, Baking Powder and Soda and Salt. Stir to blend and set aside.

In a small bowl, combine Egg Substitute, Butter, Vanilla, Torani Hazelnut Syrup and Buttermilk*. Stir to blend well.

Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just incorporated. Stir in Mini Chocolate Chips** and let rest for 5 minutes.

Cook to your waffle iron recommendations. I fill my iron with 1/3 cup batter and allow to cook for 3-5 minutes or until my iron beeps.

Garnish with Powdered Sugar and additional Mini Chocolate Chips.

*I make "homemade" buttermilk by adding 1 Tbsp Vinegar to a measuring cup, then pour however much milk you need into the cup. Allow this mixture to sit for a few minutes before using.
**When using Chocolate Chips, I like to dust with just a bit of flour before mixing with other ingredients. This allows the Chocolate Chips to incorporate well into your ingredients rather than sink to the bottom of the bowl.

Points Plus per serving - 7
This recipe makes about 12 pancakes.

Both of my girls gobbled these up and asked for more. Mads even wanted more for dinner!  HA!  They are REALLY good, you will want to eat the entire batch.

Strawberries and Cream Instant Oatmeal | Recipe

I don't know about you but, we go through oatmeal like that is the only thing to eat on this planet!   Seriously a TON! My youngest would eat it for every meal and snack....every day....if I let her. Yes, the little packs can be cheap (if you can find a coupon and get them on sale) but it still adds up.  I used things I already had on hand so there was no extra cost to make this.  FREE is ALWAYS good!   I tried before to make little packets to keep on hand but that was a complete fail.  I have since reworked the recipe and am happy with the results.  I decided to just keep the oatmeal in a glass container this time and scoop out what we need, when we need it.  You can also make this into packets by just scooping the desired amount into zip-top bags. {Strawberries & Cream Instant Oatmeal}   12 Servings 6 Cups Quick Cook Oats 1 1/2 Cups Oat Powder 2 Cups Powdered Milk 1 - 1 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Fr...

Today I am posting at Mom It Forward!

Hey guys!  I have some EXCITING news!  Today I am posting over at Mom It Forward ! I have shared my Fiesta Chicken Tacos recipe, it is SO good!  Go check it out!  While you are there, check out all of my other posts I have shared there. The Fiesta Chicken Taco mix is GREAT on nachos as well!  I also made a quesadilla with some of the mix last night and it was AMAZING!  This is also a very frugal meal, the total cost for me was $2.67! Here is the breakdown: Leftover Chicken - Free Black Beans - $0.50 for 1 can Frozen Corn - $0.17 (it was on sale and I used coupons, it was $0.33/bag and I used half a bag) Tomatoes and Green Chilies - FREE (again, on sale and I had a coupon) Tortillas - $2 Total- $2.67!  Now, if you had to buy all of that at regular price it still equals out to a very frugal meal. Enjoy!
