• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup full-fat yogurt, unflavored

Prepare Sweetheart Waffler with baking spray or butter. In large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In a separate bowl, beat eggs well. Mix in buttermilk, yogurt, and vanilla. Stir wet mixture into dry and mix until smooth. Whisk in melted butter and set batter aside for 5 minutes.

Preheat both sides of waffler for 1 minute on burner. Pour about 1 cup of batter onto waffler and bake until browned, about a minute and a half. Flip waffler and cook other side until done. Remove waffle gently with non-metal spatula. Repeat until all waffles are made. Serve with whipped cream, berries and chocolate sauce/maple syrup. Makes about 5 waffles.
