In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, malted milk powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a whisk or spatula, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips for pockets of melted chocolate in the waffles.
Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or butter, if needed.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (approximately 1/2 cup for standard waffle irons) and close the lid. Cook until the waffle is crispy on the outside and fully cooked inside, following the waffle iron's timing guidelines.
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm, dusted with powdered sugar and topped with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.
