Fudgy Brownie Waffles (Printable)
Crisp waffles with a dense, fudgy brownie center—pure chocolate indulgence ready in 30 minutes.
# What You'll Need:
→ Wet Ingredients
01 - 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
02 - ½ cup whole milk
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Dry Ingredients
05 - ¾ cup granulated sugar
06 - ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
07 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
08 - ½ teaspoon baking powder
09 - ¼ teaspoon salt
→ Add-ins
10 - ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease the cooking surfaces.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, whole milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
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 mixture into 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 - Pour approximately ½ 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 the process with the remaining batter, re-greasing the iron as needed between batches.
08 - Serve warm on its own, or garnish with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. For extra indulgence, pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The contrast between a crackly waffle exterior and that gooey fudgy center will ruin regular brownies for you forever.
- You get all the indulgence of brownies in under thirty minutes with zero oven heat.
02 -
- Overmixing the batter is the fastest way to turn fudgy waffles into tough ones, so stop stirring while there are still a few small lumps.
- Every waffle iron runs differently, so watch your first waffle closely and adjust timing before committing the rest of the batter.
03 -
- Let the melted butter cool slightly before adding it to the eggs so you do not accidentally scramble them into streaks.
- Reserve a small handful of chocolate chips and press them into the batter right after pouring it onto the iron for guaranteed pools of melted chocolate on top.
