Prep Time: 10 minutes 

Cook Time: 15 minutes 

Total Time: 25 minutes 

Ingredients

• 1 cup Califia Farms Pure Black Cold Brew Coffee 
• 1 cup Califia Farms Original Oatmilk 
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup cocoa or cacao powder 
• 2 tablespoons baking powder 
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda 
• 1 teaspoon espresso powder, dissolvable 
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 
• ¼ cup agave syrup 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted 
• Fresh berries of your choice, optional
• Pure maple syrup, for drizzling

Method

1. Preheat your waffle maker to a desired setting -- we used medium-high heat.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cacao powder, baking powder, baking soda, espresso, and sea salt.
3. Create a well in the middle of your dry ingredients and add the Califia Farms Pure Black Cold Brew, Original Oatmilk, coconut oil, vanilla, and agave.
4. Stir together until fully incorporated and the batter looks smooth. Let the batter sit for 2-3 minutes as it will slightly thicken while the ingredients activate. After 3 minutes, the batter should be "pourable" but not too runny. It should lightly coat a whisk.  
5. Spoon the batter into your waffle maker (using about 1/2 cup of batter at a time) and cook, according to manufacturer's instructions.  
6. Once each waffle is finished cooking, add them a baking sheet and place it in the oven on the lowest setting to keep waffles warm. Repeat until you have used all the batter.
7. To serve, stack waffles and top with fresh berries and maple syrup, if desired. Enjoy!
