½ c. unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ c. coconut palm sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda

Instructions
Whisk flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and mini chocolate chips in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add egg yolks, buttermilk and vanilla. Blend the center 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 (approx. six min). Working in 2 batches, fold egg whites into batter just until combined. Heat a waffle iron until very hot; lightly coat with nonstick spray. Working in batches, cook waffles until lightly crispy. Transfer to a wire rack and keep warm in oven until ready to serve. Serve waffles with a drizzle of melted dark chocolate fresh strawberries, and a sprinkling of mini chocolate chips.
