Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until evenly combined. This ensures every waffle will have consistent flavor and texture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mixing these ingredients well brings a smooth, creamy base to the batter.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your waffles light; a few lumps are perfectly okay.
- Preheat and Grease Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, spreading evenly, and cook until the waffles are crisp on the outside and soft inside—usually about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Serve Warm and Enjoy: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings for a perfect breakfast or dessert experience.
Notes
- Measure Accurately: Proper measurements help maintain the waffle’s perfect texture and flavor balance.
- Don’t Overmix: Stir the batter until just combined to avoid dense, tough waffles.
- Use Fresh Cocoa Powder: Fresh cocoa makes a tremendous difference in chocolate flavor quality.
- Preheat Waffle Iron Fully: Proper heat ensures a crispy exterior and soft inside every time.
- Keep Warm in Oven: Place cooked waffles on a rack in a low oven to keep them crisp and warm while cooking multiple batches.
