Fudgy Brownie Waffles (Print View)
Crispy-edged chocolate waffles with gooey fudgy centers, studded with melted chocolate chips.
# 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
# How-To Steps:
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 semi-sweet chocolate chips.
05 - Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron for each 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 and serve warm. Enjoy plain or top with ice cream, whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- You get all the indulgence of a brownie with the fun texture of a waffle, and the crispy pockets hold ice cream or syrup like tiny edible bowls.
- The batter comes together in one bowl with zero fancy techniques, making this a go to for late night chocolate cravings.
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 runs differently, so your first one is a test waffle and that is perfectly fine.
03 -
- Let the cooked waffles rest on a wire rack instead of a plate so steam does not make them soggy underneath.
- If your batter seems too thick to spread, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it scoops easily.
