Dark Chocolate Einkorn Waffles

Some mornings call for a little something special, and adding chocolate to einkorn waffles is just the thing! These fluffy waffles have a rich cocoa flavor and are super simple to pull together. Add chocolate chips if you're feeling particularly decadent. Serve with a little butter and maple syrup. Leftover waffles can be stored airtight at room temperature and reheated in a toaster oven the next morning.

Makes: 8 large waffles

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, add the flour, cocoa powder, both sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and whisk to combine.

2. In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, butter, and vanilla.

3. Whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture until all the dry bits are incorporated. If you’re adding chocolate chips, fold them in now.

4. Spray your waffle maker with nonstick spray, and preheat.

5. Depending on how large your waffle maker is, spoon anywhere from ½ to ⅔  cup batter into the center of your machine and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

6. Because the batter is dark brown to begin with, you won’t be able to tell right away if you’re burning these, so be extra careful to test the first few to gauge cook time—the thicker the waffle, the longer the cooking time.

7. Serve immediately with butter and maple syrup (and a few extra chocolate chips, if you’d like) or place on a rimmed baking sheet in a 200° F oven to stay warm until you’ve finished making all of the waffles, so the whole family can eat together.
