Equipment

Ingredients

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 ¾ cups milk
⅓ cup butter melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup mini chocolate chips
¼ cup granulated sugar
cooking spray if needed

Instructions

Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk milk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Lightly grease your waffle iron if needed, then pour in the batter and cook according to your waffle maker settings until the waffles are slightly crisp on the outside and fully set.
Serve warm, topped with sauce, berries, whipped topping, powdered sugar or your preferred toppings.

Notes

Cool the butter briefly: Let melted butter cool slightly before whisking it with the eggs so the hot fat doesn’t begin cooking them.
Measure flour carefully: Spoon flour into the measuring cup and level it to prevent excess flour from thickening the batter.
Protect the texture: Place cooked waffles on a wire rack in a single layer so trapped steam doesn’t soften them.
