In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Crack in the egg, add the milk and Wilson’s Olive Oil, and stir gently until just combined. Don’t worry about a few lumps—resist the urge to overmix.
Heat your waffle iron to a medium-high setting and lightly grease the plates with olive oil.
Ladle in the batter and cook according to your machine’s instructions. You’re looking for a deep golden colour with crispy edges—about 3 to 4 minutes.
While the waffles are cooking, make your chocolate sauce. Add the dark chocolate, maple syrup, and cream to a saucepan and melt over low heat, stirring until smooth. Add a splash of water if the sauce needs thinning.
Serve the waffles hot, drizzled generously with the chocolate sauce and topped with a scoop of ice cream and fresh fruit if you’re feeling fancy.
