Chocolate Waffles

I served these to a couple of friends recently and got a request for the recipe. These are fun because they can be for breakfast, brunch or dessert. If you like, you can even add some chocolate chips to the batter for a stronger chocolate taste. Might be the perfect breakfast in bed for Valentine’s Day. Chocolate waffles are great topped with fresh berries. As an added bonus, they freeze well, too.

Chocolate Waffles

2 eggs, room temperature

1/2 stick butter, melted and cooled

1 t. vanilla

1 c. buttermilk

1 c. flour

3/4 c. sugar

1/2 c. cocoa

1 t. cinnamon

1/2 each baking powder and baking soda

1/4 t. salt

1/4 t. nutmeg

Beat first three ingredients until light and foamy, about 2 minutes. Stir in milk. Beat in dry ingredients just until blended. Bake until waffles are cooked through. Makes 4 cups batter. Serve with whipped butter or sour cream and fresh fruit. I like them just dusted with powdered sugar, too.
