Fudgy Brownie Waffles (Print Version)
Dense, chocolaty waffles with a fudgy brownie-like center, perfect for brunch or dessert.
# What You 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 Prepare:
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, unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
04 - Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
05 - Gently fold the semisweet chocolate chips into the batter using a rubber spatula, distributing them evenly throughout.
06 - Pour approximately ½ cup of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron for each waffle. Close the lid and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the exterior is crisp and the center remains fudgy.
07 - Carefully remove each cooked waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter, regreasing the iron as needed.
08 - Serve warm on their own or topped with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. For extra indulgence, pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The contrast between the crisp waffle exterior and the fudgy brownie middle is genuinely irresistible and feels like two desserts in one.
- They come together in under thirty minutes with no oven required, which makes them my go to for last minute company or late night chocolate emergencies.
02 -
- The batter will be thicker than standard 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 round and you should adjust time and temperature based on how it looks.
03 -
- Grease the iron between every second or third waffle because the chocolate chips tend to stick and burn otherwise.
- Let the batter rest for five minutes while the iron heats, which hydrates the cocoa powder and produces a richer deeper flavor.
