Fudgy Brownie Waffles (Printable)
Rich chocolate waffles with fudgy centers and crisp edges, ready in just 25 minutes.
# What You’ll 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 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, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed and no lumps remain.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, whole milk, and pure vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. 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, adjusting the amount based on your iron's size. Close the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the waffles are set, the edges are crisp, and the centers remain fudgy.
06 - Carefully remove each waffle from the iron using a spatula or fork. Serve warm on their own, or top with ice cream, whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The batter takes about ten minutes to throw together, which means you can go from craving to eating in under half an hour.
- Those crisp waffle edges paired with a fudgy, brownie like center will ruin regular waffles for you forever.
02 -
- Overmixing the batter is the fastest way to end up with tough waffles instead of tender ones, so stop stirring while there are still a few streaks of flour.
- Every waffle iron runs differently, so check your first waffle a minute early to dial in the perfect timing for your machine.
03 -
- Let the melted butter cool for at least five minutes before mixing it with the eggs or you will end up with chocolate scrambled egg batter.
- The batter should be thick and fudgy, not pourable like regular waffle batter, so resist the urge to thin it out.
