Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1.25 cups whole milk
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cups heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
• 0.25 cups maple syrup (optional, for serving)
• 0.25 cups chocolate chips (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or a brush of oil.

Step 6

Pour the recommended amount of batter into the waffle iron (usually about 1/3 to 1/2 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron) and cook according to its instructions until the waffles are crisp and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.

Step 7

While the waffles are cooking, prepare the strawberry cream. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Step 8

Gently fold in the chopped strawberries until evenly distributed.

Step 9

Serve the warm chocolate waffles topped with strawberry cream. Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle chocolate chips, if desired.
