Title: Easy Chocolate Waffles
Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 3/4 cups milk
– 2 large eggs
– 1/3 cup vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for extra chocolatey goodness)
– Cooking spray or melted butter for greasing the waffle iron
Instructions:
1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. While the waffle iron is heating up, you can start preparing the batter.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until smooth.
4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay.
5. If you’re feeling extra indulgent, fold in the chocolate chips into the batter for that extra burst of chocolate flavor.
6. Once the waffle iron is ready, lightly spray the grids with cooking spray or brush with melted butter to prevent sticking.
7. Pour the batter onto the center of the waffle iron, spreading it slightly with a spatula to cover the grids evenly. The amount of batter will depend on the size of your waffle iron; follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.
8. Close the lid of the waffle iron and cook the waffles according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually for about 3-4 minutes, until they are cooked through and crispy on the outside.
9. Carefully remove the waffles from the iron using tongs or a spatula and transfer them to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, spraying or brushing the grids with more cooking spray or melted butter as needed.
10. Serve the waffles warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, whipped cream, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy these Easy Chocolate Waffles with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk for a delightful breakfast or brunch experience.
