Introduction

Brownie waffles are a delightful twist on classic brownies, combining the rich chocolate flavor with the crispy texture of waffles. Perfect for breakfast or dessert, these treats are easy to make and sure to impress.

A white plate with five stacked chocolate waffles, showing a rich dark brown color and grid texture, topped with fresh strawberries and blueberries scattered on top and around the waffles; three strawberries are halved, revealing their red, juicy inside, while the blueberries add small round dark blue spots. A silver fork rests on the plate partly on a waffle, and next to it is a glass bottle filled with white milk. On the white marbled surface around the plate are extra strawberries and blueberries, and a small white dish with honey and a wooden honey dipper. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup milk (divided)
3 1/2 tablespoons melted butter
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the waffle iron. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips with 1/2 cup of milk. Microwave for 25 seconds, stir, and repeat until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Step 2: Add the remaining 1/2 cup milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs to the melted chocolate. Whisk well until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, and granulated sugar until evenly mixed.
Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 5: Lightly spray or brush your preheated waffle iron with oil or nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 6: Spoon about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter into each section of the waffle iron.
Step 7: Close the waffle iron and cook for about 4-7 minutes, or until the waffles are crisp on the outside and cooked through.
Step 8: Serve the brownie waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as whipped cream, fresh fruit, or syrup.

Tips & Variations

For extra richness, add a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chunks to the batter before cooking.
Use almond or oat milk as a dairy-free alternative.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
Try topping with ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a decadent dessert.

Storage

Store leftover brownie waffles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, pop them in a toaster or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore crispness.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I make the batter ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the batter and store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a gentle stir before using as ingredients may separate.

Can I freeze leftover brownie waffles?

Absolutely. Let the waffles cool completely, then wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster or oven directly from frozen.
