Fudgy Brownie Waffles (Printable)

Rich chocolaty waffles with a dense, fudgy brownie-like interior for a decadent brunch or dessert treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 7 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
02 - ½ cup whole milk
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1 tsp vanilla extract

→ Dry Ingredients

05 - ¾ cup granulated sugar
06 - ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
07 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
08 - ½ tsp baking powder
09 - ¼ tsp 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, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, sift together the sugar, cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt.
04 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined—do not overmix.
05 - Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
06 - Lightly grease the waffle iron. Pour about ½ cup of batter into the center and close the lid. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the waffles are set with a crisp exterior and fudgy center.
07 - Carefully remove each waffle and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm as-is, or top with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get brownie texture and waffle crunch in every single bite, no oven required.
  • The whole thing comes together in under thirty minutes with pantry staples you probably already have.
  • Serving waffle shaped brownies at brunch will make you the most popular person in any kitchen.
02 -
  • Resist the urge to peek at the waffles before three minutes, opening the iron too early tears them apart and you lose that perfect crust.
  • The batter will be thicker than regular waffle batter and that is exactly right, if it seems too stiff just trust the process.
03 -
  • Let the melted butter cool slightly before whisking in the eggs or you will end up with scrambled bits in your batter.
  • Dusting the chocolate chips with a pinch of flour before folding them in keeps them from all sinking to the bottom.
