Indulgent Chocolate Waffles are rich, fluffy, and chocolate-packed waffles perfect for a decadent breakfast or brunch. Made with cocoa powder and optional chocolate chips, these waffles are complemented by toppings like whipped cream, fresh berries, chocolate sauce, and powdered sugar for an extra treat.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups milk (whole or buttermilk)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Optional Toppings

  • Whipped cream
  • Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries)
  • Chocolate sauce
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for cooking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well blended and uniform in color.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix these wet ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make waffles tough. If using, fold in the chocolate chips carefully.
  5. Prepare Waffle Iron: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking and help the waffles brown evenly.
  6. Cook Waffles: Pour the appropriate amount of batter (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup) onto the center of the waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are crisp on the outside and fully cooked through.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Carefully remove the cooked waffles and place them on a serving plate. Top with whipped cream, fresh berries, chocolate sauce, and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired to enhance the flavor and presentation.
  8. Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm to experience the best taste and texture of these indulgent chocolate waffles.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine to keep waffles tender.
  • Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for a tangier flavor and fluffier texture.
  • Ensure your waffle iron is properly preheated for even cooking and crispness.
  • To keep waffles crisp while making multiple batches, place cooked waffles on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven until ready to serve.
  • Feel free to customize toppings based on preference or seasonal availability.
