Fudgy Brownie Waffles (Print View)

Crispy-edged waffles with rich, fudgy brownie centers—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 & Add-ins

10 - 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions; lightly grease if necessary.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
05 - Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron per waffle, adjusting based on your iron size. Close and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until waffles are set, edges are crisp, and centers remain fudgy.
06 - Carefully remove waffles from the iron and serve warm. Enjoy plain or top with ice cream, whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The crisp edges and fudgy centers will ruin regular brownies for you in the best way possible.
  • They go from bowl to plate in under thirty minutes which makes them dangerously easy to whip up on a whim.
02 -
  • Overmixing the batter is the fastest way to get tough waffles instead of tender ones so stop while you still see a few streaks of flour.
  • Every waffle iron runs differently so your first waffle is always the test batch and that is perfectly normal.
03 -
  • Let the melted butter cool until you can comfortably hold the bowl or you risk cooking the eggs into tiny scrambled bits.
  • A light dusting of powdered sugar right before serving adds a pretty finish without extra effort.
