Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat waffle iron: Begin by preheating your waffle iron to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for cooking your waffles evenly and achieving a crispy exterior.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir these ingredients together until evenly blended.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, large egg, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
- Pour batter into waffle iron: Carefully pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly but without overfilling to prevent spillage.
- Cook the waffles: Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are crispy on the outside and fully cooked inside, typically 3 to 5 minutes depending on your appliance.
- Serve warm: Remove the waffles carefully and serve immediately with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, or whipped cream for a delicious breakfast experience.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles tender and avoid toughness.
- Make sure the waffle iron is hot before pouring batter to ensure crispiness.
- Customize toppings to your preference like nuts, berries, or yogurt.
- For dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use dairy-free butter.
