Chocolate waffles are rich, tender and fluffy chocolate filled waffles made with cocoa powder and mini chocolate chips. This chocolate waffle recipe is easy to make in one bowl.

In a mixing bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder and salt together until well combined.

Step 1:  

In another bowl whisk the eggs until smooth. Whisk in the melted butter, milk and vanilla together until smooth and well combined.

Step 2:  

Whisk the dry ingredients with the wet until just combined with some lumps. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Step 3:  

Rest the batter at room temperature while the oven preheats. The longer the batter rests, the thicker and fluffier the waffles. To store for longer, cover the batter and transfer to the fridge up to overnight.

Step 4:  

Using a ½ cup (120 ml) measuring cup, pour the chocolate batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid, pressing down gently to encourage the batter to spread a bit. Wait for the waffle maker to turn from red to green to indicate the waffle is done cooking.

Step 5:  

Gently lift up the lid. Using a flexible spatula or even the ends of a fork, gently pry the waffle off of the waffle iron. The outside of the waffle should be crisp, while the inside should be fluffy and hot.

Step 6:  

When it’s time to serve the waffles, top the waffles with your desired toppings. I love mine with fresh fruit like raspberries, a light dusting of powdered sugar, whipped cream and a drizzle of maple syrup.
