ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
¹⁄₂ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¹⁄₄ cup brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs, separated
2 cups buttermilk
¹⁄₂ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (at least 70% cacao)
unsalted butter and warm pure maple syrup (for serving)

directions

Preheat oven to 250°.
Whisk flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
Make a well in the center and add egg yolks, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Blend with a fork, then gradually incorporate dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat egg whites in a small bowl until soft peaks form. Working in 2 batches, fold egg whites into batter just until combined. Fold in chocolate. DO AHEAD: Batter with egg whites can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
Heat a waffle iron until very hot; lightly coat with nonstick spray. Working in batches, cook waffles until cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack set inside a baking sheet, cover loosely with foil, and keep warm in oven until ready to serve.
Serve waffles with butter and syrup.
