COOKING STEPS
Step 1
Mix together flour, sugar, melted butter, cocoa, eggs, vanilla, buttermilk, salt, soda and baking power with a spoon in a large bowl. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts.
Step 2
Preheat waffle iron and spray with cooking spray. Cook as usual or by directions for your waffle iron. I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup of batter for each waffle. Makes 10 to 12 waffles. Top with your favorite toppings.
⭐TIP
If you want a really crisp waffle, place cooked waffles directly on an oven rack with temperature at 200 degrees for five minutes. Do not stack on top of each other. You can crisp your waffles and keep them warm while making more in the waffle maker.
