In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk them together until well blended.

In a separate bowl, crack 2 eggs and beat them lightly. Add in 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix these wet ingredients thoroughly until smooth.

Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold everything together using a spatula until just combined; it’s perfectly fine to have a few lumps remaining.

While your batter rests, preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Once preheated, pour about 1/2 cup of batter into the center of the waffle iron. Cook the Fluffy Chocolate Waffles for 4 to 5 minutes.

Gently remove the waffles from the iron and serve them hot with toppings of your choice.
