Bomb-Diggity Chocolate Waffles
The most decadent chocolate waffle that are lightly sweet and perfect to serve for the weekend brunch scene. You can top these chocolate waffles with whipped cream and strawberries, maple syrup, or for an even chocolatier experience, with chocolate syrup!
Servings: 5 -6 round waffles (or 12-14 squares)
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 6 tablespoons oil*
Instructions
- Preheat waffle maker on medium-high heat or according to your waffle makers instructions. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 200ºF. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt, whisk and set aside. In a large measuring cup, mix together the buttermilk, vanilla, eggs, and oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until *just* combined.
- Pour ⅓ - ½ cup of batter into each compartment of the waffle maker (the amount will depend on whether you’re making large round waffles or traditional square ones). Cook the waffles for 4-6 minute or until crisp and cooked through. Transfer to the prepared baking rack and keep them warm in the oven until ready to serve. Repeat with the rest of the batter. Serve with whipped cream and sliced berries!
Notes
- any clear, flavorless oil will work for this recipe. I've also tried using butter but I find that the butter doesn't allow these waffles to get as crispy as the oil does.
