Ingredients

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour 210g
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 60g
¼ cup granulated sugar 50g
2 tablespoons cornstarch packed (24g)
2 teaspoons baking powder 12g
½ teaspoon baking soda 4g
1 teaspoon kosher salt 4g
1 ½ cups milk 356g
¼ cup flavorless oil avocado, vegetable or canola all OK (60g)
¼ cup chocolate sauce 88g
2 large eggs ~100g
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 6g

Instructions

Combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt to a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
Pour the milk, oil and warmed chocolate sauce into a liquid measuring cup. Whisk to combine. (You want to make sure that the chocolate is completely mixed into the milk, as we are essentially making a chocolate milk here.)
Pour in the eggs and vanilla extract into the milk mixture. Whisk thoroughly until combined. (The eggs need to be completely incorporated.)
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Stir until just combined. The batter does not need to be completely smooth, so do not mix it until it is smooth or it will be overmixed.
Pour ⅓ cup of the waffle batter into a greased, hot waffle iron. (This will be dependent on the size of your waffle maker, so you might need more or less, and depending on this, you will have more or less waffles.)
Cook until crispy and cooked through.
Repeat until all the waffles have been made and enjoy with your favorite toppings.
