Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole grain spelt flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup turbinado or white sugar
- 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups low fat milk
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup chopped 70% dark chocolate
Instructions
- Prepare the batter the night before, or at least 30 minutes ahead. In a large bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the center.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk in the oil.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Do not over mix, the batter should be lumpy. Fold in the chopped chocolate.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat the waffle iron and grease it with oil or cooking spray. Gently stir the batter if you made it the day before.
- Place the batter, about 1 cup at a time, into the waffle iron and cook about 3-4 minutes, until the waffle is golden and easily lifts from the waffle iron.
- Place the waffles on a cooling rack nestled in a baking sheet in the oven to keep warm if necessary.
- Serve waffles warm with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, whipped cream, maple syrup, or raspberry sauce.
