Happy Friday! These past couple weeks I’ve been testing out a new Mickey Bubble Waffle maker from Select Brands. I’ve had such a fun time trying out different flavors and I’m excited to share these Chocolate Mickey Bubble Waffles! The rich chocolate waffles pair perfectly with ice cream for a decadent treat! And of course the adorable Mickey Mouse pattern makes them even better!
Bubble waffles are a bit different from regular waffles. They’re lighter and sweeter and have a crispy outside and a fluffy inside. Bubble waffles are very popular in Hong Kong and are often served with extra toppings like ice cream and fruit. While I do enjoy getting bubble waffles from different restaurants, it’s been very fun to be able to make them at home!
Since bubble waffles are different from regular waffles, you’ll need a bubble waffle maker for this recipe. The Mickey Bubble Waffle Maker that I’m using was gifted to me by Select Brands as part of a promotion. Select Brands makes a variety of fun and good quality kitchen appliances, including my favorite Mickey Waffle Maker that makes mini waffles just like the ones available in the Parks.
The Mickey Bubble Waffle Maker is available on the Select Brands website and at Sam’s Club. I’ve been using it to make bubble waffles for the past two weeks or so and I definitely recommend it. If you’re looking to make non-Mickey bubble waffles, you could also use a regular bubble waffle maker for this recipe.
To make the batter, first whisk together the four, sugar, tapioca starch, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, syrup, oil, and vanilla extract.
Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and whisk until smooth. Bubble waffle batter is thinner than regular waffle batter so the batter will be runny! Cover the batter and rest at room temperature for one hour. Depending on when you’d like to serve the waffles, you could also have the batter rest in the refrigerator overnight.
When you’re ready to make the waffles, preheat the bubble waffle maker according to the instructions. For the Mickey Bubble Waffle Maker, this means plugging it in and waiting until the light goes off. This only takes a couple minutes. I found that the Mickey Bubble Waffle Maker didn’t need any cooking spray or oil to grease the irons.
Filling the bubble waffle maker is different than filling a regular waffle maker. After a bit of trial and error, I found it easiest to use a ¾ cup measure to pour the batter into the center of the waffle maker. Then, I tilted the waffle maker slightly to distribute the batter to the edges of the irons.
Cook the waffles according to the waffle maker instructions. For the Mickey Bubble Waffle Maker, you’ll need to rotate the irons and let it cook for 2 minutes. While the light will go on and off to help you time it, I found it easier to use a kitchen timer. Once cooked, rotate the irons back to the starting position and remove the bubble waffle from the waffle maker.

While you can definitely eat the bubble waffles plain, I served mine with ice cream, fruit, and Pocky. To assemble the waffles, curve the bubble waffle and place it into a waffle or fry holder, or paper waffle holder. Some paper waffle cups are included with the Mickey Bubble Waffle Maker!
Place a couple scoops of your favorite ice cream into the center of the waffle. Then, add some berries or sliced fruit and some Pocky. For my waffles I used Haagen Daz’s White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle ice cream, fresh raspberries, and chocolate and strawberry Pocky!
Enjoy these Chocolate Mickey Bubble Waffles!
