# Ingredient List:

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour

02 - 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

03 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar

04 - 2 tsp baking powder

05 - 1/2 tsp baking soda

06 - 1/2 tsp salt

07 - 1 3/4 cups buttermilk

09 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

10 - 2 tsp vanilla extract

11 - 1 tbsp red food coloring

12 - Maple syrup, warmed

13 - Additional butter

01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

03 - In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until fully incorporated.

04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are acceptable.

05 - Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with nonstick spray or a small amount of melted butter.

06 - Pour approximately 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron, adjusting based on your iron's capacity.

07 - Close the lid and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or according to your waffle iron's instructions, until the waffles are crisp and cooked through.

08 - Continue cooking the remaining batter in batches until all waffles are prepared.

09 - Serve the waffles immediately with a pat of butter and a generous drizzle of warm maple syrup.

01 -

The buttermilk creates incredible tenderness while still giving you those crispy edges everyone fights over
That subtle cocoa note makes these feel fancy without being overwhelmingly chocolatey

02 -

Overmixed batter creates tough waffles, so stop stirring as soon as the flour disappears
The batter thickens as it sits, so if you need to wait before cooking, you might need to add a splash more buttermilk
