Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar

- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2-3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
- Preheat waffle iron per manufacturer's instructions.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a whisk to sift together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add chocolate chips, mixing until evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, butter, egg yolks and vanilla. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients add to dry ingredients mixing just until fully moistened.
- Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into batter. Batter will be lumpy.
- Spray both sides of the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Pour in enough batter to lightly but fully cover the surface of the iron, about ¾ cup, depending on the size of the waffle iron.
- Close iron cooking until waffles have crisp and golden exteriors, about 5 minutes or according to manufacturer recommendation.
- Cook waffles in batches. Repeat spraying the waffle iron with cooking spray as needed. Keep waffles warm between batches in a 200°F oven in a single layer on a sheet pan, until serving.
- Serve immediately drizzled with chocolate syrup, whipped cream and fresh berries.
