- 80 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 100 g sugar or other sweetener of your choice
- 1,000 g sourdough discard best if you use discard 1-10 days old

- Pinch of salt
- 160 g mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tsp baking soda
Before You Begin
Note: if you have time, set out your sourdough discard so it can come closer to room temperature – some bakers found the batter difficult to mix when using cold discard.
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron.
- Mix the chocolate base: In a large mixing bowl, melt 113 g unsalted butter in the microwave. (Or melt in a saucepan on the stovetop and transfer to a large bowl.) Add 1 tsp espresso powder and 80 g unsweetened cocoa powder, whisking until smooth and combined.
- Add wet ingredients: Whisk in 2 tsp vanilla extract, 100 g sugar, 1,000 g sourdough discard, and a Pinch of salt until well combined. Then, whisk in the 4 eggs.
- Mix in chocolate chips: Stir in 160 g mini semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Activate with baking soda: Sprinkle 2 tsp baking soda across the top of the batter. Whisk vigorously for about 20 seconds until the batter becomes aerated and fluffy.
- Cook: Pour batter into your preheated waffle iron and cook according to your device's instructions.
- Cool: Let cool slightly on a cooling rack (so the bottoms don't get soggy). Enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the Recipe: Scale the recipe up or down in 250g increments depending on how much discard you have.
- Freezing Tip: Freeze the waffles in freezer-safe zip-top bags.
- Egg Substitute: Another baker has an egg allergy and substituted flax eggs for the eggs and said they turned out amazing! A flax egg is 1 tbsp ground golden flaxseeds mixed with 3 tbsp warm water.
- 113g butter = 8 tbsp or 1/2 cup
