Chocolate Therapy Waffles

Published April 17, 2016

When you have had a bad day, or a bad week, sometimes a little chocolate therapy is in order. A friend has been going through a tough time, so I made these for her. We actually had them for dessert, but they are great for breakfast or brunch, too. Top them with whatever you like. I enjoy a little whipped cream and berries. If you like, you can even add some chocolate chips to the batter for a stronger chocolate taste.

Chocolate Therapy 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.
