Fudgy Brownie Waffles (Print Version)
Dense, chocolaty waffles with a fudgy brownie-like center, perfect for brunch or dessert.
# What You Need:
→ Wet Ingredients
01 - 7 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
02 - ½ cup whole milk
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
→ Dry Ingredients
05 - ¾ cup granulated sugar
06 - ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
07 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
08 - ½ tsp baking powder
09 - ¼ tsp salt
→ Add-ins
10 - ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
# Preparation Steps:
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, unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
04 - Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
05 - Gently fold the semisweet chocolate chips into the batter using a rubber spatula.
06 - Pour approximately ½ 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.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The crispy waffle exterior gives way to a dense fudgy center that tastes like the best corner piece of a brownie.
- They go from bowl to plate in under thirty minutes with no oven required.
- Top them with ice cream and suddenly you have the most impressive lazy dessert anyone has ever made.
02 -
- Resist the urge to peek early because opening the iron before the waffle sets will tear it in half and leave you with a crumbly mess.
- The batter is thicker than regular waffle batter and that is exactly right, so do not add extra milk.
03 -
- Grease the waffle iron between every single waffle because the chocolate chips will stick and burn otherwise.
- The waffles continue to firm up slightly after you remove them from the iron, so take them out when the center still feels just a touch softer than you want.
