Chocolate peanut butter waffles are the weekend breakfast you didn’t know you needed in your life until right now. Crispy on the outside, tender and fluffy inside, with deep chocolate flavor and ribbons of peanut butter running through every square — these are the waffles that make sleeping in feel worth it. Top them with sliced banana and a drizzle of maple syrup and you’ve created something that belongs on a brunch menu. They’re genuinely special while being easy enough to make on any given Saturday morning without much fuss.
- Swap: Use powdered peanut butter mixed into the batter for a lighter version that still delivers full peanut butter flavor.
- Make-ahead: Bake extra waffles and freeze between sheets of parchment; toast directly from frozen for crispy weekday waffles.
- Storage: Refrigerate for 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month; reheat in the toaster for the crispiest result.
- Variation: Swirl Nutella into the batter instead of peanut butter for a chocolate-hazelnut waffle variation.
- Serving: Top with banana slices, a drizzle of peanut butter, mini chocolate chips, and a light pour of maple syrup.

Chocolate peanut butter waffles
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 Tbsp melted margarine
- 1 Tbsp egg whites
- 1 Tbsp melted peanut butter
Instructions
-
Turn on your waffle maker to heat up.
-
Melt your peanut butter in the microwave for about 40 seconds.
-
Mix all of your ingredients together in a bowl, I like to use a large measuring cup for easy pouring into the waffle maker.
-
Spray your waffle maker and pour batter evenly.
-
Cook for about 4 minutes, if not ready yet then leave for another minute or two. All waffle makers are different.
-
Top with a banana and some melted peanut butter. Waffle alone is 7pp.
I just made this for breakfast and its delicious! The only thing I change is that i use sugar free syrup that is only 1 point for 3 tablespoons!
I love all your recipes!
Thanks Kayly!! That’s a great point value for your syrup.. Glad you enjoyed the waffle.. ๐
Is this using sweetened or unsweetened cocoa powder?
Hi, I always use unsweetened
How many smart points would this be?! ๐
Sorry have not figured it out yet.. If you email me (contact page) I will remember to get on it ๐
I made the recipe exactly. And it was one big crumbly mess I had to add a little over 5 tablespoons of water just to make it pourable. I tasted the batter after I put it in the waffle maker and it was horrible, very bitter. Family hated it sorry.
So sorry to hear that Belinda, I can’t win over everybody lol.. sometimes waffles cook differently to..

Would you be able to tell me how many points this would be on the freestyle plan?
Love your recipes!
Thank you
Hi Katie, thanks, so glad you are enjoying the recipes, the points would be the same on freestyle as they are on old SP, there are no zero foods in the recipe that would alter the points
After doing exactly what was written in the directions my batter came out really tough I had to add an egg yolk and water to make it a liquid. After that though it worked! serving with maple syrup and fruit it was good! i just wonder how your batter came out with such a nice consistency and mine came out all tough!
Hi Maria, you have me questioning this recipe now haha, I just went to have a look, it was 5 years ago when I made it but it does seem shy on the wet ingredients, I’ll have to make them to see if I missed something, you used melted margerine correct?
