Fudgy Brownie Waffles (Printable Version)
Crispy-edged, fudgy-centered chocolate waffles made in a waffle iron — ready in just 25 minutes.
# What You'll 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
# Directions:
01 - Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease the plates if needed.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, whole milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly dispersed.
05 - Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron per waffle, adjusting based on your iron size. Close the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the edges are crisp and the centers remain fudgy.
06 - Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve warm. Enjoy plain or top with ice cream, whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- The crispy edges and gooey centers give you the best parts of a brownie without waiting for a whole pan to bake.
- You probably have every ingredient in your kitchen right now, and the whole thing comes together in under thirty minutes.
02 -
- If you open the iron too early the waffle will tear apart, so wait until steam slows down significantly before checking.
- Every waffle iron cooks differently, so your first waffle is basically a test run and that is completely normal.
03 -
- The batter should be noticeably thicker than regular waffle batter, almost like a soft brownie dough, so if it looks too thick you are on the right track.
- Lightly spray or brush the waffle iron between each waffle to keep those edges shatteringly crisp.
