Fudgy Brownie Waffles (Printable)
Crisp, chocolaty waffles with a dense fudgy brownie center, ready in just 30 minutes.
# Ingredient List:
→ Wet Ingredients
01 - 7 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
02 - 1/2 cup whole milk
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
→ Dry Ingredients
05 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
07 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
08 - 1/2 tsp baking powder
09 - 1/4 tsp salt
→ Add-ins
10 - 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
# How to Make:
01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease the plates.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, whole milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, sift together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly blended.
04 - Gradually add the 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 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the exterior is crisp and the center remains fudgy.
07 - Carefully remove the cooked waffle and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
# Helpful Tips:
01 -
- The contrast of a crisp waffle exterior with a gooey brownie center will ruin regular waffles for you forever.
- They go from mixing bowl to plate in under thirty minutes, which is dangerous knowledge to have.
02 -
- Overmixing the batter is the fastest way to turn fudgy waffles into rubbery ones, so stop stirring while there are still a few streaks of flour visible.
- Every waffle iron runs differently, so watch the steam rather than the timer and pull them when the steam thins out.
03 -
- Let the melted butter cool slightly before whisking in the eggs so you do not accidentally scramble them into the batter.
- Resist the urge to open the waffle iron early because these need that full cooking time to develop the crisp shell that holds the fudgy center together.
