Ingredients

125 g plain flour
25 g unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
240 ml milk
1 large egg free range
2 tbsp melted butter vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
400 g pitted cherries in syrup lightly drained but with some juices retained
Whipped cream fresh or canned

Instructions

Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and salt.
125 g plain flour, 25 g unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, ¼ tsp salt
In a separate bowl or jug, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter (or oil) and vanilla extract.
240 ml milk, 1 large egg, 2 tbsp melted butter, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be slightly thick—don’t overmix.
Lightly grease the waffle iron. Pour enough batter into the centre to just cover the grid, then close and cook until the waffle is crisp and cooked through (usually 3–5 minutes, depending on your waffle maker).
Place the warm waffles on plates and top generously with the canned cherries and a drizzle of their syrup. Add a spoonful or swirl of whipped cream and enjoy.

Notes

Suggestions to vary your Chocolate Waffles:

While canned cherries are a classic choice, other fruits pair beautifully with chocolate waffles.

Try sliced bananas, strawberries or poached pears for different flavours and textures. A drizzle of raspberry sauce or a few blueberries tossed in a little sugar and lemon juice also make lovely variations.
