Ingredients

7 ounces all-purpose flour, approximately 1 1/2 cups
1 3/4 ounces sugar, approximately 3 tablespoons
1.5 ounces cocoa powder, approximately 1/2 cup
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 whole eggs, beaten
2 ounces unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
16 ounces buttermilk, room temperature
4 ounces chocolate chips, approximately 3/4 cup
Vegetable spray, for waffle iron

Directions

Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions.

In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In another bowl beat together the eggs and melted butter and vanilla, and then add the buttermilk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir in the chocolate chips just until combined. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.

Ladle the recommended amount of waffle batter onto the center of the iron. Close the iron top and cook until the waffle is crispy on both sides and is easily removed from iron. Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200 degree F oven until ready to serve.

Better than mom's (don't tell her I said that)
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Excellent variation of Alton's Basic Waffles recipe which has become my favorite because they are tender and fluffy even... without the tedious separate beating of egg whites that most recipes call for, and have excellent flavor. I do add more sugar to the batter and omit the chips, and eat them with just butter on top, because that's the way we always ate them growing up. These are also great popped into the toaster after being frozen. Another recipe added to my keeper file!Read more

My kids love it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made this recipe half a dozen times, and the only change I've made was to slightly increase the amount of sugar. They... freeze really well too, and make for a great breakfast when topped with a bit of natural peanut butter.Read more

good but seemed too soupy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I saw AB make these and looked great. I followed the recipe to the T. I started to add the milk but didnt add the full 16 oz... since it semed it would make it soupy. I added almost all of it . These were GREAT. I only gave it 4 stars due to the soupy-ness of the batter. Will def make this again. ! great recipe. keep them coming!!!! Jen Worcester,MaRead more

Decadent as a dessert
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made these tonight as a dessert to be topped with a ball of vanilla ice cream and topped with homemade chocolate sauce. ... Absolutely decadent. The batter was perfect, exactly as AB's on the "Waffle Truth" episode, not at all runny as others have experienced. Also, using the hottest setting on my waffle iron the waffles were crisp, not soggy or soft as for other reviewers. Read more

Our new Easter breakfast

This has now become a tradition! Be careful with the eggs though. My sister figured out pretty quick that they will... scramble!Read more

Kids loved them
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Great because there's not too much sugar. Just a little powdered sugar on top & they're perfect. Making a batch this... weekend to freeze for school days. WARNING: Do NOT use powdered buttermilk-- it ruins the consistency.Read more
