Ingredients

Scale

Waffle Batter

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 whole eggs, beaten
  • 2 ounces unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups buttermilk, room temperature
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • Vegetable spray, for waffle iron

Toppings

  • Fresh strawberries, for serving
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron and lightly coat it with vegetable spray to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and cocoa.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, combine the beaten eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and room temperature buttermilk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the waffles. Fold in the chocolate chips if you’re using them for extra chocolate bursts.
  5. Cook waffles: Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the waffles are set and appear slightly crisp on the outside, typically about 4-6 minutes.
  6. Prepare whipped cream: While the waffles cook, in a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract using a mixer or whisk until soft peaks form, indicating the cream is light and fluffy but not overbeaten.
  7. Serve: Serve the warm chocolate waffles topped generously with fresh strawberries and a dollop of the homemade whipped cream for a delightful breakfast or brunch treat.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the waffles tender and fluffy.
  • For an extra crispy exterior, leave the waffles in the iron until they are slightly browned and firm.
  • Fresh strawberries can be substituted with other berries or seasonal fruit.
  • Chocolate chips are optional but add extra indulgence.
  • Use room temperature buttermilk to prevent clumping and ensure smoother batter.
  • Whipped cream can be sweetened to taste; adjust powdered sugar accordingly.
  • Store leftover waffles in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster or oven for best texture.
