A tasty change from regular waffles are these Churro Waffles with Mocha Sauce. This dish tastes like a rich mix of coffee and chocolate thanks to the churro coating, which is sweet and crunchy. Great for a special treat at breakfast or brunch!

Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. 1 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 2 large eggs. 1 cup buttermilk. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 cup granulated sugar for churro coating. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for churro coating. 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee. 1/2 cup heavy cream. 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips. 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules optional. Whipped cream and chocolate shavings for garnish optional.

Instructions: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps in the batter. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease it. Pour the waffle batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crisp. In a shallow bowl, mix 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for the churro coating. As soon as the waffles are done cooking, carefully remove them from the waffle iron and dip each side into the churro coating mixture to coat them evenly. Set aside. For the mocha sauce, heat the brewed coffee and heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and instant coffee granules if using. Continue to stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the sauce is smooth. Serve the churro-coated waffles with a drizzle of mocha sauce. You can also garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired. Enjoy your delicious Churro Waffles with Mocha Sauce!
