Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups low-fat milk
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 unit large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the low-fat milk, melted unsalted butter, large egg, and vanilla extract. Beat until all ingredients are well mixed.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir well until you achieve a smooth batter. If desired, fold in the optional dark chocolate chips.

Step 5

Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or brush with a little extra melted butter.

Step 6

Pour enough batter onto the center of the waffle iron to just cover the waffle grid without overflowing. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are crispy and easy to remove, following your waffle iron's settings (approximately 3-5 minutes).

Step 7

Carefully remove the waffle and keep it warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Step 8

Serve the waffles immediately with your choice of low sodium toppings, such as fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar.
