Instructions

Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, corn starch and salt in a large mixing bowl.
1 ½ cups (195g) all purpose flour, ½ cup (40g) cocoa powder, ½ cup (120g) sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon corn starch, 1 teaspoon sea salt
In a large measuring cup, combine 2 tablespoons of oil (canola or melted coconut oil work well) with the vanilla extract and eggs. Whisk these ingredients until well combined.
2 tablespoons canola oil, 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon vanilla
In a small sauce pan, melt the butter. Break the chocolate into pieces and add to the melted butter. Whisk the milk into the chocolate and butter.
2 tablespoons butter, 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, 1 ¼ cups whole milk add up to ¼ cup more to smooth out your batter
Add all of the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter may be slightly lumpy which is good. If the batter feels too thick, add a splash of milk and mix again. You want the batter to be smooth enough to pour or drizzle into your waffle iron.
Choose your favorite waffle iron and turn it on to warm up. Spray the iron with a little bit of canola oil or nonstick cooking spray.
Once the waffle iron is warm, use a measuring cup or ladle to pour a cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron.
Cook waffles, following the directions on your waffle maker.
As soon as the waffles come out of the waffle iron, sprinkle them with mini chocolate chips.
½ cup mini chocolate chips for sprinkling after cooking
Serve waffles with fresh berries, whipped cream and warm maple syrup.
