Whether you’re making brunch for the family, treating your kids to a weekend surprise, or simply craving a little cocoa-filled joy with your morning coffee, these rich, fluffy chocolate waffles hit the sweet spot. They’re crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of deep chocolate flavor in every bite.
So let’s dive into the magic…
🍽 Ingredients You’ll Need
These waffles are made with simple pantry staples and come together in no time:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ¾ cups milk
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate chips (optional, but totally recommended!)
👩🍳 How to Make the Best Chocolate Waffles Ever
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. - Combine Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk, oil, and vanilla extract. - Make the Batter:
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. (Don’t overmix!) Fold in the chocolate chips if you’re using them. - Cook the Waffles:
Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it. Pour in the batter and cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions—usually 3–5 minutes or until they’re cooked through and lightly crispy. - Serve & Enjoy:
Top with whipped cream, fresh berries, syrup, chocolate sauce, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you’re feeling extra. 🍓🍦
💡 Tips & Variations
- Freeze for Later: These waffles freeze beautifully. Let them cool, then pop them into a zip-top bag. Reheat in the toaster or oven for a quick treat anytime.
- Boost the Flavor: Add a pinch of cinnamon or a tiny bit of espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor.
- Make It Vegan: Use non-dairy milk and an egg replacer like flaxseed meal, and swap in vegan chocolate chips.
