Buttercup Chocolate Waffles

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, semi-melted
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 3/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 eggs, beaten (next time i'm lowering it to 3 to reduce the egginess)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon chocolate extract (just use 2 tsp vanilla as originally written if u dont have it)

Recipe

• 1 semi melt the butter on the stovetop or microwave in a sturdy bowl.
• 2 whisk the cocoa and applesauce together with the melted butter.
• 3 in a large mixing bowl, combine all the other ingredients together.
• 4 add the cocoa mixture and beat again until smooth.
• 5 grease your waffle iron molds lightly and preheat.
• 6 depending on the make and capacity of your waffle iron, pour 1/2 cup-2/3 cup of batter onto the the hot greased mold. i use 2/3 cup because this waffle iron just makes a few giant swirly waffles instead of 12-15 normal sized ones.
• 7 close and bake for 2 1/2-3 1/2 minutes, remove with a metal or wooden spatula and place onto a cooling rack or individual plates to cool off.
• 8 repeat until you run out of batter- the book says 6-8 waffles, assuming they're the giant waffles from this iron, so that'd be about 20 normal size waffles!
