Fudgy Brownie Waffles (Printable)
Crisp chocolate waffles with a dense, fudgy brownie center—perfect for brunch or dessert.
# 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.
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, cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
04 - Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
05 - Gently fold the semisweet chocolate chips into the batter using a rubber spatula.
06 - Lightly grease the waffle iron. Pour approximately ½ cup of batter into the center of the iron and close the lid. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the exterior is crisp and the center remains fudgy.
07 - Carefully remove the cooked waffle and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
# Expert Hacks:
01 -
- The crispy exterior gives way to a dense, fudgy center that tastes like you spent hours when it really took thirty minutes.
- You probably already have every ingredient sitting in your pantry right now.
- They feel fancy enough for guests but simple enough for a random Tuesday night craving.
02 -
- Resist the urge to peek while the waffle iron is closed because opening it too early tears the top and ruins the crisp finish.
- The batter will be thicker than regular waffle batter, and that is exactly what you want for that brownie texture inside.
03 -
- Let the melted butter cool slightly before mixing it with the eggs so you do not accidentally scramble them into the batter.
- Every waffle iron runs differently, so your first waffle is a test run to dial in the perfect timing for your specific machine.
