Ingredient and Equipment Notes
Chocolate Chips – Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips are recommended here, but feel free to experiment with other varieties. Larger chips may get a little messy, as they will be more likely to poke through the batter as the waffles cook so if that’s all you have just give them a rough chop first. Batter – This waffle batter has chocolate chips dotted throughout. Use a ladle to to spoon it onto your waffle iron, making sure to stir the batter each time so the chocolate chips will be evenly distributed. Waffle Iron – Any waffle iron should work here, simply adjust the amount of batter used to fit your model and follow the cooking time recommended by your manufacturer. This is the waffle iron I have– with this large size, this recipe made 5 large individual waffles. If you’re feeding a crowd, you’ll probably want to double!
Instructions
Can I make these ahead of time? Prepare this batter up to a day ahead of time, just make sure to stir well before using since the chocolate chips will likely sink to the bottom. Although these are best eaten fresh, you could make the waffles ahead of time let them cool completely, and store in a tightly covered container on the counter until ready to use. The berry sauce can be made a day ahead of time and stored in the fridge. If serving with whipped cream, you can whip that up in advance as well. How do I prepare these for a crowd? If you don’t own a warming tray, pop a baking pan in the oven and set it to the lowest heat. As the waffles come off the iron, pop them onto the baking sheet in the oven. If your oven feels too hot, simply turn it off, and allow the ambient heat to keep the waffles warm while you finish cooking the rest. Serve as soon as possible once done cooking or the waffles may dry out.
