Easy Double Chocolate Buttermilk Waffles Recipe

The sight of a stack of waffles is sheer joy in my world. While we love regular buttermilk waffles for breakfast there's something about taking them to another level with cocoa and chocolate chips in the batter.

How to Make the BEST Double Chocolate Buttermilk Waffles Recipe

• Kitchen tools you'll need to make homemade Double Chocolate Buttermilk Waffles: All purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, large eggs, semi sweet chocolate chips, melted butter, vanilla extract and cream of tarter to stabilize the egg whites. You'll also need chocolate syrup, berries and whipped cream for serving.
• Kitchen tools you'll need: A large bowl, a medium bowl, hand mixer or stand mixer, whisk, measuring cups and spoons, waffle iron, ladle and knife or offset spatula to loosen the waffle from the waffle iron.
• You can make these waffles into any shape you like, depending on your appliance. A standard waffle iron may yield more servings.
• Using Dutch process or Hershey's special dark cocoa will lend a more intense chocolate flavor. That said, you can make these waffles using the same amount of regular unsweetened cocoa powder, if desired.
• Cooking time may vary a bit depending on the manufacturer of your appliance so, follow their recommendation about preheating the waffle iron and adjust the cooking time, if needed.
• If serving these waffles as a dessert, you may like to top them with homemade hot fudge sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• The purpose of separating the eggs and whipping the whites separately is for the airiness this technique  adds to the batter.
• You can serve these topped with any of your favorite fresh berries such as strawberries, raspberries or even banana slices with a drizzle of chocolate or caramel syrup.
• You could also turn these into hot fudge sundaes adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a sprinkling of toasted nuts and maraschino cherries.
• Store Double Chocolate Waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a non stick skillet over medium heat, in a 350°F air fryer or in a 375°F oven until heated through and crisped.

• Serve immediately drizzled with chocolate syrup, whipped cream and fresh berries.
