Fudgy Brownie Waffles (Print version)
Chewy chocolate waffles with crisp edges and fudgy centers, cooked to perfection in a waffle iron.
# What goes in:
→ 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
# Cooking steps:
01 - Preheat the waffle iron according to 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 emulsified.
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 until evenly dispersed.
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 edges are crisp, the centers remain fudgy, and the waffles release easily.
06 - Carefully remove each waffle from the iron using a spatula. Serve warm on their own or topped with ice cream, whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
# Tips from flavorandfeast:
01 -
- The contrast between crunchy waffle edges and gooey brownie centers is genuinely addictive.
- They cook in under five minutes, which means dessert is ready before your patience runs out.
02 -
- Overmixing the batter makes the waffles tough instead of tender, so stop stirring while there are still a few streaks of flour visible.
- Every waffle iron runs differently, so check your first waffle a minute early to avoid overcooking and adjust from there.
03 -
- Let the melted butter cool for at least five minutes before mixing or you will end up with scrambled chocolate eggs.
- Reserve a small handful of chocolate chips to press into the top of each waffle right before closing the iron for an extra gooey surprise.
