Ingredients

  • 2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups reduced-fat milk
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2⁄3 cup semisweet mini chocolate morsels
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Preparation

  1. Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl; whisk to blend. Add the milk, eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk until just combined. Stir in oil until completely combined. Fold in morsels and nuts. Let batter rest 5 minutes.
  2. Preheat the waffle maker to desired setting.
  3. Pour the suggested amount of batter onto the center of the lower grid of the preheated waffle maker; spread batter evenly using a heatproof spatula. Close lid of waffle maker. (If using the Double Flip Waffle Maker, continue with the other side.) 
  4. When the unit indicates that the waffle(s) is/are ready, open lid and carefully remove baked waffle(s). Repeat with remaining batter. For best results, serve immediately.
