Fudgy Brownie Waffles (Printable Version)
Rich, chocolaty waffles with a dense, fudgy brownie-like interior—perfect for a decadent brunch or dessert.
# What You 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:
01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease the plates.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, whole milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well 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 sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender crumb.
05 - Gently fold the semisweet chocolate chips into the batter using a 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 each waffle and repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, regreasing the iron as needed.
08 - Serve the waffles warm, topped with whipped cream, fresh berries, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The contrast between the crispy waffle exterior and the gooey brownie middle is genuinely unfair in the best way possible.
- You probably have every ingredient in your kitchen right now, and the whole thing comes together in under thirty minutes.
02 -
- The batter will be thicker than regular waffle batter, and that is exactly right, so resist the urge to thin it out with extra milk.
- Every waffle iron runs differently, so your first waffle is a test run to dial in the timing before you commit the rest of the batter.
03 -
- Coat the chocolate chips in a pinch of flour before folding them in so they do not all sink to the bottom of the batter.
- The waffles are done when steam stops escaping from the iron, which is a more reliable indicator than the little ready light on most machines.
