Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 eggs
• 1.5 cups whole milk
• 0.25 cup melted unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
• 0 as needed non-stick cooking spray
• 0 as needed powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 0 as needed fresh berries (optional, for serving)
• 0 as needed maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Lightly spray the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 7

Pour enough batter into the waffle iron to cover about two-thirds of the surface (amount will vary based on the size of your waffle iron). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are crispy on the outside, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, spraying the waffle iron with cooking spray as needed between batches.

Step 9

Serve the waffles warm, dusted with powdered sugar if desired. Top with fresh berries and drizzle with maple syrup for an extra indulgent touch.
