DOUBLE CHOCOLATE WAFFLES

Chocolate for breakfast? Why not? Or try these as a delightful ending to brunch or for dessert topped with your favourite ice cream and sauce.

Makes twenty 4-inch (10 cm) waffles

1cup (250 ml) semi-sweet mini chocolate morsels

3cups (750 ml) all-purpose flour

1cup (250 ml) cocoa, preferably Dutch process

2⁄3 cup (150 ml) granulated sugar

21⁄2 teaspoons (12 ml) baking powder

2teaspoons (10 ml) baking soda

1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt

1 teaspoon (5 ml) cinnamon

3cups (750 ml) reduced fat milk

2⁄3 cup (150 ml) vegetable oil

3large eggs

2large egg whites

11⁄2 teaspoons (7 ml) vanilla extract

Place the chocolate morsels in a small bowl and mix with one tablespoon (15 ml) of the flour so that the morsels are completely “dusted.” Reserve. Combine the remaining flour with the remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl and combine until well blended and smooth. Let bat- ter sit 5 minutes before using. Preheat your Cuisinart® Belgian Waffle Baker on setting #4* (green indicator light will be illuminated when preheated).

Stir the flour coated chocolate morsels into the batter. Pour 3/4 cup (175 ml) batter onto preheated waffle baker grid. Using a heat-proof spatula, spread batter until evenly distributed. Allow batter to bubble for 5 – 10 seconds, then close cover of waffle baker. Indicator light will turn red. When light turns green again, waffle is ready. Repeat with remaining batter. For best results, serve immediately. However, you may keep waffles warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven until ready to serve.

*We recommend using setting #4 to achieve a crispy brown baked waffle. Adjust the browning control if you prefer softer or crispier waffles.
