Fudgy Brownie Waffles (Printable)
Rich chocolate waffles with crisp edges, chewy centers, and melted chocolate chips throughout.
# What You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - ¾ cup all-purpose flour
02 - ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
03 - 1 cup granulated sugar
04 - ½ teaspoon baking powder
05 - ¼ teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
08 - ¼ cup whole milk
09 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Chocolate & Add-ins
10 - ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
# Step-by-step:
01 - Preheat your waffle iron following the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the plates if needed to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, whole milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture tender. Fold in the chocolate chips.
05 - Spoon approximately ½ cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron per waffle, adjusting 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 topped with ice cream, whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- You get all the gooey, chocolatey satisfaction of a brownie with none of the waiting or oven preheating.
- The crispy edges from the waffle iron create a texture contrast that regular brownies can only dream of.
02 -
- Overmixing the batter is the fastest way to turn fudgy waffles into tough ones, so stop stirring while there are still a few streaks of flour visible.
- Every waffle iron cooks differently, so test one waffle first and adjust your timing before committing the rest of the batter.
03 -
- Let the melted butter cool for at least five minutes before adding it to the eggs or you will end up with chocolate scrambled egg waffle batter.
- Resist the urge to open the waffle iron early because peeking tears the waffle apart before it has set properly.
