Fudgy Brownie Waffles (Print Version)
Chocolatey brownie batter pressed into waffles with crisp edges and gooey, fudgy centers.
# What You Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
03 - 1 cup granulated sugar
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
08 - 1/4 cup whole milk
09 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Chocolate and Add-ins
10 - 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
# Directions:
01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to 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, unsweetened 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 the mixture is smooth and well blended.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
05 - Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron for each waffle. Close the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the edges are crisp and the centers remain fudgy and set.
06 - Carefully remove each waffle from the iron using a spatula. Serve warm on its own or topped with ice cream, whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The batter comes together in one bowl with no electric mixer needed, which means less cleanup and more eating.
- Those crisp waffle ridges hold onto ice cream and whipped cream like they were designed for it.
- They cook in under five minutes per waffle, so impatient chocolate lovers get fed fast.
02 -
- Overmixing the batter is the fastest path from fudgy to cakey, so treat folding like a gentle conversation rather than a workout.
- Every waffle iron cooks differently, so test one waffle first and adjust time or batter amount before committing to the whole batch.
03 -
- Resist the urge to open the waffle iron early, as the batter needs uninterrupted heat to set properly and release cleanly.
- Dust your waffle iron with cocoa powder instead of flour for greasing to avoid any white residue on the finished waffles.
