Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1.25 cups milk
- 0.33 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
- non-stick cooking spray or melted butter (for waffle iron)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
If using, fold the chocolate chips into the batter for extra chocolatey waffles.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or melted butter.
Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, using a ladle or measuring cup to spread it evenly (be sure not to overfill).
Cook the waffles until they are crisp and cooked through, typically 4-6 minutes, depending on your waffle iron settings.
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, fresh berries, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
