Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Provides structure and holds everything together.
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder Adds rich chocolate flavor.
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar For sweetness; can adjust to taste.
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed Adds moisture and a deeper flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Helps the waffles rise.
  • ½ teaspoon salt Enhances the overall flavor.
Wet Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs Binds the ingredients together.
  • ½ cup melted butter, cooled slightly Brings richness and moisture.
  • ½ cup milk Helps to achieve the desired waffle batter consistency.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds warmth and depth of flavor.
Mix-Ins
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips For that extra burst of chocolate in every bite.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions so it’s hot and ready when the batter is mixed.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then stir in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Cooking
  1. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined — a few small streaks of flour are okay.
  2. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  3. Lightly grease your waffle iron with butter or nonstick spray. Spoon batter onto the center of the iron and close the lid.
  4. Cook 3–5 minutes, or until the waffle edges set and a crackly crust forms.
  5. Carefully remove waffles and set on a rack or plate. They’ll firm up a touch as they cool.
Serving
  1. Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel.

Notes

For crispier edges, let the waffle iron cook a little longer; for fudgier centers, pull them a touch earlier. Waffles are happiest warm and shared.
