Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease the plates with butter or nonstick spray.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt to remove clumps.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth, then add vanilla extract and cooled melted butter.
- Gradually combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients until the batter is thick and glossy.
- Fold in chocolate chips, if desired.
- Pour a generous scoop of batter into the preheated waffle iron, avoiding overfilling.
- Close the lid and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until waffles are set with slightly crisp edges.
- Carefully remove waffles and serve warm with toppings like ice cream, chocolate sauce, or fresh fruit.
Notes
Batter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Use nonstick spray or butter to prevent sticking in your waffle iron.
Customize with nuts, berries, or swirls of peanut butter for added flavor.
Reheat leftovers in a toaster or oven to maintain crispiness.
