Instructions

Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with non-stick spray or oil to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and coconut or brown sugar ensuring they are well combined for an even texture.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, melted coconut oil or butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
Mix Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the waffles tender. Fold in mini dark chocolate chips if using for extra bursts of chocolate.
Cook Waffles: Spoon the batter onto the hot waffle iron (amount depends on your waffle maker size) and cook for about 3–5 minutes or until the waffle is cooked through and with slightly crisp edges.
Serve: Remove waffles carefully and serve warm topped with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess and flavor.

Notes

For extra protein, incorporate chocolate protein powder into the batter and reduce the liquid slightly to maintain consistency.
These waffles freeze well and can be reheated in a toaster or oven for a quick meal.
Use coconut sugar as a natural sweetener alternative to brown sugar for a lower glycemic index.
