Extreme Chocolate Brownie Waffles
In this adapted recipe from the Veganomicon, I’ve taken a bit of reserved batter to make a brownie batter sauce to pour over the waffles for that gooey, chocolaty goodness. I did not use soy yogurt from this recipe and opted to use just a few chocolate chips, since the waffles were going to be topped…
