The Story & Intro
Hi👋 I’m Lacamorea, a 31-year-old French girl who traded the cobblestone streets of Paris for the cozy kitchens of America 🇫🇷➡️🇺🇸. Ever since I could reach the countertop, I’ve been whisking, stirring, and sneaking tastes of cake batter when no one was looking 🍰😋. Cooking isn’t just my passion it’s my love language, my therapy, and my favorite way to make people smile.
Cooking is about more than just food it’s about sharing stories and making memories.
This Chocolate Chip Waffle Brunch Board was born on a slow Sunday morning when the house was still quiet, the coffee was brewing, and I wanted something that felt special without feeling stressful. I didn’t want a plated breakfast that disappeared in five minutes. I wanted a moment. I wanted everyone gathered around the table, reaching, laughing, tasting, lingering.
A Chocolate Chip Waffle Brunch Board turns breakfast into an experience. It’s cozy, generous, playful, and full of love exactly how brunch should feel. I’ve made this board for sleepy kids, visiting friends, baby showers, holidays, and “just because” weekends. Every time, it brings people together in the sweetest way.
I love how this Chocolate Chip Waffle Brunch Board invites everyone to build their own perfect bite. Some pile on fruit. Some drown everything in syrup. Some steal chocolate chips straight from the bowl (I see you 😌). There’s no wrong way only happy plates.
Why I Love Making This Recipe
I love this recipe because it feels like hospitality on a board. I don’t hover over the stove once the waffles are done. I don’t rush to serve. I lay everything out beautifully and let people help themselves.
This Chocolate Chip Waffle Brunch Board makes me feel like the kind of woman who hosts with ease, even if the kitchen is a little messy behind the scenes. It works for kids and adults. It looks impressive without being complicated. And most importantly, it creates connection.
Food should slow us down. This board does exactly that.
Ingredients & Little Kitchen Secrets
I keep the waffle base simple and comforting. No complicated techniques. Just good ingredients and love.

Little Kitchen Secrets
- I fold chocolate chips in gently so the batter stays fluffy.
- I warm waffles in the oven so they stay crisp for the board.
- I cut waffles into quarters easier to grab and share.
- I mix textures: creamy, crunchy, fresh, sweet.
How I Make It, Step by Step
I start by preheating my waffle iron and my oven to a low warming temperature. I whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, I whisk milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
I pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently. I fold in chocolate chips last, smiling every time because chocolate chips make everything better.
I cook the waffles until golden and crisp, then place them on a baking sheet in the oven to stay warm. Once all waffles are ready, I cut them into quarters.
I wash and slice the fruit, fill small bowls with syrups and spreads, and whip cream until soft and fluffy.
Then comes my favorite part assembling the board. I place waffles in the center, surround them with fruit, drizzle sauces into little bowls, and finish with powdered sugar like snow.
How I Serve It at Home
I serve this Chocolate Chip Waffle Brunch Board right in the center of the table. I pour coffee. I light a candle. I let everyone gather.
I don’t rush anyone. I let kids build silly combinations and adults sip slowly. This board turns brunch into a memory, not just a meal.
Storage, Reheating & Make-Ahead Tips
I store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. I reheat them in the toaster or oven so they stay crisp.
I often make waffles the night before and reheat them gently the next morning. I prep fruit and toppings ahead so brunch feels effortless.
