Fudgy Brownie Waffles (Printable)
Crisp, chocolaty waffles with a dense fudgy brownie center, ready in just 30 minutes.
# What You Need:
→ Wet Ingredients
01 - 7 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
02 - 1/2 cup whole milk
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1 tsp 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 tsp baking powder
09 - 1/4 tsp salt
→ Add-ins
10 - 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
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, unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly blended.
04 - Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing 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 the process with the remaining batter, re-greasing the iron as needed.
08 - Serve warm on its own or topped with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. For an extra indulgent touch, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The outside crisps up like a proper waffle while the center stays dense and gooey, almost underbaked in the best way.
- You get all the satisfaction of brownies in a fraction of the time because there is no oven waiting involved.
02 -
- The batter is thicker than regular waffle batter and that is exactly right, so resist the urge to thin it out.
- Every waffle iron runs differently, so your first waffle is a test run to dial in timing.
03 -
- Let the melted butter cool slightly before whisking in the eggs so you do not accidentally scramble them.
- A light spray of oil on the iron before each waffle ensures clean release and maximum crispness.
