In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sucanat, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a smaller bowl (or glass measuring cup), mix together 1 Tbsp. melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in dried cherries.
Grease waffle iron by brushing with melted butter (or you can use cooking spray).
Fill waffle iron with batter and cook according to manufacturer's directions. I like to underfill my waffle maker so the batter doesn't leak down the edges!
