Fudgy Brownie Waffles (Print Page)
Chocolatey waffle iron brownies with crisp edges and fudgy centers, ready in just 25 minutes.
# 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
# Directions:
01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the plates if necessary 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 smooth and fully incorporated.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the waffles tender. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly dispersed throughout the batter.
05 - Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron for each waffle, adjusting the amount based on your iron's size. Close the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the edges are crisp and the centers remain fudgy.
06 - Carefully remove each waffle from the iron and serve warm. Enjoy plain or top with ice cream, whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The contrast of crunchy waffle ridges against a fudgy middle is something a regular brownie simply cannot deliver.
- They cook in under five minutes per waffle, which means dessert is ready before your ice cream even starts melting.
02 -
- Resist the urge to peek early because opening the iron before the waffle sets will tear it apart and leave half stuck to the top plate.
- The batter should be much thicker than regular waffle batter, almost like a soft brownie dough, and that is exactly how you want it.
03 -
- Let the batter rest for five minutes before cooking because it thickens slightly and produces a chewier, more brownie like texture.
- Every waffle iron runs differently, so treat your first waffle as a test batch and adjust time or batter amount from there.
