Double Chocolate Waffles

Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.

2. 2

   In another bowl, whisk the eggs, brown sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer for 5 minutes or until pale, forms a ribbon and triples in volume. Gradually whisk in the oil. Using a spatula, fold in the dry ingredients and chocolate alternating with the buttermilk until everything is moistened (a few lumps of flour will remain). Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

3. 3

   Preheat a waffle iron. Pour about 1/3 cup (75 ml) of the batter into each cavity. Close the machine. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the waffles are cooked through. Keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

   Serve the waffles with vanilla yogurt and Black Cherry Compote, if desired.
