Preheat waffle maker to manufacturer’s instructions.
Mix batter: In a medium size bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, salt. Add non-dairy milk, oil and vanilla, mix until combined.
Cook: Pour batter onto the waffle iron, close and cook about 3 – 4 minutes (or according to your waffle maker’s instructions). Gently remove waffles and serve right away. You can also keep waffles warm in a preheated oven at 200 degrees F., keep waffles on a cookie sheet until all waffles are ready.
Serve: Top waffles with pure maple syrup. Pairs perfectly with fresh sliced strawberries, but any seasonal berry will be great too. For variation, try this Nut Butter Maple Syrup.
Makes 2 Belgian waffles (as shown) or 4 regular ones if using a classic waffle maker.
Store: Leftover waffles can be stored in the refrigerator for 4 – 5 days, or in the freezer for 2 – 3 months. Reheat in the toaster oven.
