Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Use high-quality cocoa for best flavor.
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk Can substitute with almond, oat, or coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips Optional for extra chocolate flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs until slightly frothy. Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together. Mix until no dry flour remains.
- If using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter now.
Cooking
- Ladle approximately 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of your preheated waffle iron.
- Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions, about 3-5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the waffle using a fork or silicone spatula and place on a wire rack to maintain crispness. Repeat with remaining batter.
Notes
For best results, avoid overmixing the batter. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking for fluffier waffles.
