Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¾ cups (420 ml) milk (whole or plant-based)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (about 125 g) fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup (170 g) dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
  • Optional: flaky sea salt for sprinkling on chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle maker for about 5 minutes until hot.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Carefully fold in fresh raspberries without smashing them.
  6. Lightly grease waffle maker if needed. Pour about ¾ cup (180 ml) batter onto the hot surface and close the lid.
  7. Cook waffles for 4-6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining batter.
  8. Cool waffles on a rack for about 5 minutes to help chocolate stick better.
  9. Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring between, or use a double boiler until smooth.
  10. Dip half of each waffle into melted chocolate and place on parchment paper or cooling rack. Optionally sprinkle flaky sea salt on chocolate before it sets.
  11. Let chocolate set at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or refrigerate for 5 minutes to speed up.
  12. Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar and garnished with extra raspberries or whipped cream.

Notes

Use fresh, firm raspberries and high-quality dark chocolate for best results. Let waffles cool on a rack before dipping to prevent chocolate from sliding off. Microwave chocolate in short bursts and stir often to avoid burning. For dairy-free, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and butter with coconut oil. Batter can be made ahead and stored in fridge up to 24 hours. To keep waffles crispy, leave waffle maker open for 30 seconds after cooking and use a cooling rack.
