Preheat oven to 250°F. Whisk flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add egg yolks, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Blend with a fork, then gradually incorporate dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
These were yummy-but far too rich for breakfast (even with raspberries and blackberries on top. In the future, I would only serve these for dessert.
Not overly sweet (without chopped chocolate) They came out great even with skipping the beaten egg whites.
Why preheat the oven? Did not make it yet - just wondering.
Followed the recipe as written and doubled it. Great for a large crowd as small decadent bites: cut each cooked waffle into 2" squares or triangles. Stack on a platter, drizzle with a chocolate ganache, dust with confectioners sugar & garnish with edible flowers. Have fun with these!!!!
Made this for breakfast this morning. I did a 1/2 recipe, didn't have the buttermilk so I used whole milk and added about a tablespoon if white vinegar to sour the milk. I also used the 70% Cacao Extra Bittersweet Chocolate. This was outstanding. With the Maple Syrup it was like biting into a rich bittersweet chocolate bar for breakfast. The waffle was not to crisp and nice and moist so that the chocolate just covered the tongue. Diffidently make this again. I would give this a 5 fork if I could.
I would give this 3.5 stars. Very, very good. Excellent flavor and easy to make.
These were very good, and not too sweet-- but a bit overwhelming! As just a Saturday morning family brunch I was left feeling a bit "omg so much chocolate".
My friends loved them, but I was the photo was more delicious than the real thing. We were left wondering how to make them less dense.
My friends loved them but I wasn't as impressed as I was by the picture! We made them together and were left wondering how to make the batter a bit lense dense.
We followed instructions exactly and they turned out really good. Everyone added their choice of topping, I liked strawberries. These were even good the 2nd day, not that there were many left :) The chopped chocolate in the waffle gave it a little bite-these were great!
Fabulous! I didn't separate the eggs, just whisked the liquids all together, but all else was same. Loved them with fresh strawberries and strawberry jam, also good with butter and maple syrup. I think if yours are dry then you may have cooked them too long. My first one was a little dry, then I cooked them less and they were lovely!
These waffles are heavenly! They are not dry like one reviewer mentioned -- just make sure you follow the recipe as outlined. In fact, they are quite moist and tender. We love them drenched in melted butter and syrup but next time will be trying with strawberries and whipped cream. I have made them three times over just two weekends. We freeze the leftovers and my stepson warms them in the toaster on school mornings. Definitely give this recipe a try!
Lovely and decadent. Perfect topped with just unsalted butter and good quality maple syrup.
These were excellent! My husband and children really loved them. We served them with warm maple syrup. I might try adding some cinnamon to the reciped the next time I make them to give them a Mexican chocolate flavor. I think they would be great with some strawberry preserves and whipped cream, too. These would be great as a dessert with ice cream and hot fudge sauce. I will definitely make them again for my family. The chopped chocolate is necessary to the recipe. Can't understand how people alter a recipe by removing such a large amount of chocolate and then rate the recipe poorly as the previous reviewer did.
These were delicious -- like a fluffy brownie. Served them at brunch with strawberries (tossed with a little sugar) and fresh whipped cream. I could not make them fast enough.
I was very disappointed with these waffles, finding them quite dry. Will possibly try again to make sure no mistakes were made. I left out the chopped chocolate and maybe that contributed, but it just seemed over the top. Served with lots of fresh strawberries and bluberries, butter and a little sugar. Then tried adding syrup, but too heavy and dry. I agree that ice cream and or whipped cream might be a better way to top them. In the mean time will go back to my toasted oatmeal waffles.
Chocolate waffles were excellent! They were so good that my family members ate them without any topping! They tasted like chocolate cake!
Made these for Sunday breakfast and they were very good, but honestly I think they would be better as a dessert waffle with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce.
