Some days just call for something a little extra special for breakfast. Birthdays, Valentines Day, or even just a snow day can be a reason to celebrate! These easy chocolate waffles are a twist on the classic version-there is no tedious beating of egg whites (never try that by hand-trust me), the chocolate flavor is light and not overbearing, and the additional sugar only adds a few calories.
Try them warm with butter or add a dusting of powdered sugar for a little extra ommph.
Chocolate Waffles
1 3/4 C All Purpose Flour
1/3 C Cocoa Powder
1/2 C Sugar
1 TBS Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Salt
2 Eggs
1 3/4 C Milk
1/2 C Oil
Mix flour, cocoa, baking powder & salt in a bowl.
Combine milk, oil and eggs in a bowl and beat lightly to combine.
The wet ingredients.
Add egg mixture to dry ingredients all at once and mix until combined. Mixture should still be slightly lumpy.
Get ready to mix!
A little lumpy is fine-preferred even.
Pour approx 1 cup of batter onto preheated waffle iron for each waffle.
Pour it on–a measuring scoop works well for this.
Wait for the light to go out (at least on my ancient waffle iron)
Viola! Chocolate Waffle!
Makes 5 or 6 full sized waffles.
I love waffles and these look great. We tend to stick to pancakes just to make sure we can all eat in a reasonable length of time. I suppose it’s a tad unrealistic to imagine a waffle station in my home kitchen. 😉
Looks delightfully good Jenn!
Heather-I’d only want a waffle station if it came with the chef.
Amyrlin-They were very good!
These look delicious. We recently got a new waffle iron. I’ll definitely give your recipe a try!
Dang, those look good! I am making these tomorrow morning for the kids. I will be a hero!
