    Well, hello there, breakfast.

    I daresay, you haven't looked this sexy in a while.

    Could it be the rich, dark chocolate color?

    Or...what is that you're hiding inside? Bacon? Candied bacon?

    Oh yes, breakfast certainly just got a lot sexier because of these paleo dark chocolate bacon waffles.

    Dark Chocolate Bacon Waffles

    I really love waffles. Which is why I created these chocolate bacon waffles. For the longest time I thought I was a pancake person, but after finding Waffles I knew there would be a special place in my heart for this particular breakfast food.

    Waffles the Paleo Cat

    That's right...his name is Waffles. I found a stray and named him after a cat in the old Nickelodeon show Catscratch. He burrowed his way into my heart faster than I could get him to an animal shelter, so he quickly became part of the family. Isn't he adorable? And I knew from that moment on that my relationship with waffles had changed. As I said, I used to side with pancakes in the "pancakes vs. waffles" debate, and I had actually never owned a waffle maker, so it's pretty strange that I didn't name this little kitty "Pancakes". But, when I finally got my hands on a waffle maker and made my first paleo waffles, I was hooked. Waffles totally beat out pancakes in my kitchen any day now!

    Dark Chocolate Bacon Waffles

    Look at that. Just drool-worthy, am I right?

    The inspiration for these decadent paleo waffles came when I saw a very not paleo recipe of the same name. I didn't even bother looking at the ingredient list...I knew from the recipe title that I wanted to recreate them my way. I had been wanting to make candied bacon anyway, so why not mix them in some chocolate waffle batter and call it good?  I mean, that actually sounds like a better use of candied bacon anyway.

    These waffles are not super sweet on their own, so you'll definitely want to top them with maple syrup, honey, or a fruit compote. They are certainly dark chocolate waffles. But, with the candied bacon and pure maple syrup, they were rich and just sweet enough.

      Oh my gosh...yum! Do you think these would work well as pancakes? I'm also a waffle fan, but I don't have a waffle maker at the moment!

        You could certainly try it! I haven't done it myself, so I don't know how easy they would be to flip. I would just suggest using a lot of ghee or coconut oil to make sure they don't stick and making them fairly small for easy flipping (just in case they have trouble staying together)

        Thanks for stopping by!

        You could try them as pancakes, but I'm not sure how they'd turn out! Maybe I'll have to work on a pancake version...
