Double Chocolate Waffles - non dairy and no added sugar

This was a recipe for basic waffles that I tweaked to take out the sugar and the dairy. What do you need? 1/3 cup non dairy margarine (I use Pure soya) 1/4 cup of a sugar alternative ( I use Tesco low granulated sweetner) 1 tsp cocoa powder 2 eggs 1 cup of flour (at the minute I'm using normal plain flour but I will be using almond flour in future) 200mls (approx) of coconut milk dark chocolate chips - you choose the amount here Here are some of the ingredients i use I like this spread in food (not on toast as you cant beat real butter so its a good thing I don't eat bread or butter) This is my favourite Coconut Milk - its creamy and has a great taste I definitely prefer this one to the red one, the aspartame based sweeteners are ones I steer clear of How do you make these scrummy waffles? mix up the egg...
