Sweet Start to the Day! {Recipe: Valentine Chocolate Waffles}

These are a fun start to Valentine's Day or a great way to end it with dessert!

Valentine Chocolate Waffles

2 cups flour 

1/3 cup red cocoa powder* or regular cocoa powder

1/3 cup sugar

2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

1/3 cup melted butter or vegetable oil 

1-3/4 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Add melted butter and stir until smooth (a few small lumps are okay). Cook in heart shaped or favorite regular waffle iron according to waffle iron manufacturer instructions. Serve with Nutella, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, ice cream, and/or fresh berries. Waffles can also be dusted with powdered sugar. 

*Note: I used Guittard Red Cocoa Powder that can be found at Cost Plus World Market.

My daughter put this together,
 I think her summer working at a ice cream,
waffle and crepe place shows! 

Happy Valentine's!
