Mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, water, oil, sugar and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix together until almost blended. If batter is very thick, add a small amount of milk as you mix. Fold in chocolate chips and pecans. Do not overmix.

Take some of the batter into another dish and add a sprinkle of water while stirring to give the remaining batter the consistency of a thick, pourable sauce. The sauce will be chocolaty, slightly floury and light tasting.

Prepare in your waffle iron as you’d prepare other waffles. Once waffles are finished, add your desired amount of vegan butter (optional, but very tasty), then drizzle with brownie batter chocolate sauce.
