What are Black Cat Waffles with Whipped Cream made of?

They’re chocolate waffles made from cocoa based batter, decorated with whipped cream and fun toppings like banana ears, candy eyes, and chocolate chips to resemble black cats. It’s all about a rich, fluffy breakfast with playful Halloween style.

Can I make Black Cat Waffles ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the batter a day in advance and store it covered in the fridge. Cooked waffles can be frozen and reheated in the toaster or oven to keep them crisp. The whipped cream is best made fresh but can be whipped a few hours ahead and chilled.

Are Black Cat Waffles with Whipped Cream healthy?

They can be! Use whole wheat flour, reduce sugar, or even add mashed bananas to the batter. For a lighter option, swap heavy cream with Greek yogurt or coconut whip. Like our Apple Cinnamon Bread Recipe , it’s all about balance and smart swaps.

What can I serve with these waffles for a full meal?

Serve them with fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, or a smoothie. For a full Halloween brunch spread, pair them with cozy baked treats like our Caramel Apple Puppy Chow Recipe or a pumpkin drink.

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
In another bowl, beat eggs, then add milk, vanilla, and melted butter. Mix into dry ingredients until smooth.
Preheat and lightly grease waffle iron. Pour in batter and cook until crisp, 3–5 minutes per waffle.
Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
Decorate waffles: add banana/apple slices for ears, candy eyes, and whipped cream for cheeks or fur.
Finish with chocolate chips or syrup for whiskers/nose. Serve warm.

Notes

For crispier waffles, let them rest in a warm oven after cooking. Cocoa gives the waffles their natural dark color—no food dye needed. Kids love helping with decorating!
