Fudgy Brownie Waffles (Printable)
Crispy waffles with fudgy brownie centers, loaded with chocolate chips and cocoa goodness.
# What You Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
03 - 1 cup granulated sugar
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
08 - 1/4 cup whole milk
09 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Chocolate & Add-ins
10 - 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
# How-To:
01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the plates if needed to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed and no lumps remain.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, whole milk, and pure vanilla extract until the mixture is completely smooth and well blended.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
05 - Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of the thick batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron for each waffle. Close the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the edges are crisp and the centers remain fudgy and set.
06 - Carefully remove each waffle from the iron using a spatula. Serve warm on their own or topped with ice cream, whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The crisp edges and gooey centers give you the best of both brownies and waffles in every single bite.
- They come together in under thirty minutes with pantry staples you probably already have on hand.
02 -
- Overmixing the batter will give you cakey waffles instead of fudgy ones, so embrace a few streaks of flour and stop stirring.
- Every waffle iron runs differently, so check your first waffle at the four minute mark and adjust the time from there.
03 -
- Let the melted butter cool for at least five minutes before adding it to the eggs, because hot butter will cook the eggs and create little scrambled lumps in your batter.
- Resist the urge to peek at the waffle too early by opening the iron, because tearing a half cooked brownie waffle off the plates is a tragedy you cannot undo.
