St Patrick’s Day Mint Chocolate Chip Waffles
I love making fun pancakes and waffles for the kids for Holidays. These mint chocolate chip waffles are definitely a favorite of theirs and requested every St. Patrick’s Day. However, they also want them throughout the year because they are so good! If you’re a mint chocolate lover, you will absolutely love these waffles!
Here are some other fun St. Patrick’s Day recipes: Lucky Charms Cookies, Leprechaun Bait, Shamrock Pretzels, Nutter Butter Leprechaun Cookies and Shamrock Shake.
Ingredients Needed
This fun green waffle recipe uses staple ingredients other than the mint extract. The toppings are completely optional, but makes these waffles extra delicious and also look good (get the full amounts in the recipe box below).
- Eggs: I always recommend using room-temperature eggs.
- Granulated Sugar: Even though you don’t want to make your waffles very sweet, you don’t want to skip the sugar. It gives the waffles a hint of sweetness and brings the flavors together perfectly.
- Milk: Use whole or 2% milk to add moisture to the recipe and add additional flavor.
- Oil: Using Canola or Vegetable Oil will give the recipe a more tender and moist texture. When combined together with eggs it will add an airy and fluffy consistency overall. Coconut oil can also be used.
- Mint Extract: This will give your waffles a nice minty flavor and will also provide the recipe with a nice aroma as well.
- Green Food Coloring Gel: Be sure to use food coloring gel and not the liquid form to make it blend easier into the ingredients. Use a drop to a couple of drops to make the desired color of the recipe.
- Baking Powder: Baking powder makes the waffles rise. This gives that light and fluffy texture you want.
- Salt: Everyone always thinks it is weird to put salt in things like waffles or desserts because they aren’t salty foods. Adding salt brings out the flavor. You don’t want to skip this step.
How To Make Mint Chocolate Chip Waffles
Just a few simple steps that takes about 5 minutes.
- Mix the eggs, sugar, milk, oil, chocolate chips, mint extract, and green food coloring gel in a large bowl.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl until combine.
- Combine the dry and wet ingredients together (batter may be lumpy, but that’s okay).
- Pre-heat the waffle maker. Pour on 3/4 cup of batter, close and cook until done.
