Fudgy Brownie Waffles (Printable Version)
Crispy waffles with a rich, fudgy brownie center—pure chocolate indulgence ready in 30 minutes.
# What You'll 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
# Directions:
01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and set it to a medium-high setting.
02 - In a large mixing 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 until evenly blended.
04 - Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the texture tender.
05 - Gently fold the semisweet chocolate chips into the batter using a rubber spatula, distributing them evenly throughout.
06 - Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron. Pour approximately 1/2 cup of batter into the center of each waffle section, close the lid, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the exterior is crisp and the center remains fudgy.
07 - Carefully remove each 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 Tips:
01 -
- The outside gets impossibly crispy while the inside stays dense and gooey like a perfect brownie.
- They feel fancy enough for a dinner party dessert but easy enough for a lazy weekend morning.
02 -
- Resist the urge to peek while the waffle cooks because opening the iron too early tears the delicate crust apart.
- The batter is thicker than regular waffle batter and that is exactly right, so do not add extra liquid.
03 -
- Keep your waffle iron temperature slightly lower than you would for regular waffles because the sugar and chocolate burn faster than plain batter.
- Dust your waffle iron plates with cocoa powder instead of flour for greasing to avoid any white residue on the finished waffles.
