Chocolate and Cocoa Waffle Recipe

Try the savory version of waffles, perfect for brunch and appetizers!

  • Start preparing the chocolate waffles by placing eggs and sugar in a bowl. Mix with the beaters until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  • Add sunflower oil and milk to the bowl; if you are lactose intolerant, you can use an unsweetened plant-based drink.
    Mix with the beaters to combine the mixture.

  • Weigh all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking powder for desserts in another bowl. Mix everything with a spoon, trying to break any powder lumps in the meantime.

  • Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ones and start mixing with the beaters.

  • When the dough becomes quite firm, continue with a kitchen spatula.
    You should obtain a fairly dense mixture.

  • Heat a waffle griddle and if necessary, grease it with butter, oil, or a specific release agent.
    Add 1 or 2 spoonfuls of mixture for each cavity on the plates.

  • Cook the waffles for 3-4 minutes, I cooked them for 4 because I prefer them a little more “crispy” on the outside.
    Continue in the same way until all the batter is used up; you should get 6 or 7 waffles.

  • Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in a bain-marie.
    Drizzle it over the chocolate waffles and bring your breakfast to the table immediately.

  • How long do they last?

    You can store them in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze them for about 3 months.

  • How long does the batter last in the fridge?

    You can prepare the batter up to 1-2 days in advance.

  • Can I use white chocolate as a topping?

    Sure, but I don’t recommend melting it in the microwave as it tends to burn quickly.
