Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (50g) Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron and let it warm up fully (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in pure vanilla extract.
  5. In another bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, Dutch-process cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and espresso powder if using.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  7. Gently fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  8. Lightly grease the waffle iron with melted butter or non-stick cooking spray.
  9. Spoon about 1/3 cup (80ml) of batter onto the center of the waffle iron.
  10. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the waffle edges are crisp and the top looks set but still fudgy.
  11. Transfer waffles to a wire cooling rack for 2-3 minutes to let the exterior crisp up.
  12. Serve warm with optional toppings like powdered sugar, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles fudgy. Keep the waffle iron well-greased with melted butter for better crust and flavor. Avoid opening the waffle iron too early to prevent breaking. If batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk to loosen. Let waffles rest on a cooling rack to maintain crispiness. Waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to a month. Reheat in waffle iron or toaster oven to restore crisp edges.
