Fudgy Brownie Waffles (Printable)
Dense, chocolaty waffles with a fudgy brownie center—ideal for brunch or dessert.
# What You Need:
→ Wet Ingredients
01 - 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
02 - 1/2 cup whole milk
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Dry Ingredients
05 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
07 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
08 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
09 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Add-ins
10 - 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
# How To Make:
01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease the plates.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, whole milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, sift together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
04 - Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture tender.
05 - Gently fold the semisweet chocolate chips into the batter using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout.
06 - Pour approximately 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of the preheated, greased waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the exterior is crisp and the center remains fudgy.
07 - Carefully remove the cooked waffle and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm on its own or topped with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- The contrast of a crunchy waffle exterior with a molten brownie center is something no oven baked brownie can replicate.
- They come together in under thirty minutes, which means dessert is ready before your coffee even gets cold.
02 -
- Opening the waffle iron too early will tear the brownie waffle apart because the center needs those full minutes to set.
- The batter is thicker than regular waffle batter and that is exactly right, so resist the urge to thin it out.
03 -
- Let the melted butter cool slightly before adding the eggs so you do not accidentally scramble them into the batter.
- A light coating of cooking spray between each waffle ensures clean release and the crispiest possible edges.
