Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ cup sugar
½ cup cocoa powder
1 cup milk, 2% or higher
2 eggs
4 tbsp butter, melted
1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the waffle iron.
Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and cocoa in a large mixing bowl.
Stir in milk, eggs, and butter, and mix until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips.
Scoop out almost 1 cup's worth of batter and pour it onto a greased waffle iron. Cook for a few minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes

Recipe Tips.

Even if your waffle iron is nonstick, lightly grease it to help prevent sticking, especially with the chocolate chips.
Mix the wet and dry ingredients just until combined. A few small lumps are fine and help keep the waffles tender.
Cooking times vary by waffle iron, so follow your manufacturer's instructions and cook until the waffles are set and cooked through.
Place cooked waffles on a wire rack in a 200°F oven while you finish the remaining batter. This helps keep the edges from getting soft.

Store. Store cooled waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for two days.

Freeze. Place the cooked waffles on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze. Once solid, transfer them to an airtight, freezer-safe container. The waffles will stay good for up to 2 months.

Reheat refrigerated or frozen waffles in a toaster until warmed through and crisp. You can also place them on a baking sheet in a 350°F oven until heated through.
