Description
Rich, chocolatey Black Forest waffles with crisp edges and a soft center, topped with sweet cherries and whipped cream for a breakfast that feels like dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 can cherry pie filling (for topping)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
- Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, leaving a few small lumps.
Lightly grease the waffle iron and pour in enough batter to cover the surface without overflowing.
Cook for 5–7 minutes, until the waffles are crisp and cooked through.
Repeat with remaining batter, keeping cooked waffles warm.
Serve topped with cherry pie filling, powdered sugar, and whipped cream.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles tender.
Add chocolate chips for extra richness.
Fresh cherries or cherry compote can replace pie filling.
Cooked waffles can be kept warm in a low oven.
