Description
These Brownie Waffles offer a delightful fusion of two classic desserts. Each waffle features a rich, deep chocolate flavor with a tender, fudgy interior reminiscent of a brownie, encased in a lightly crisp exterior from the waffle iron. Served warm, they are generously drizzled with a smooth chocolate sauce and finished with a scattering of chocolate chips, creating a decadent and satisfying treat.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup chocolate chips, plus more for topping
- Chocolate sauce, for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are acceptable. Fold in ¾ cup of chocolate chips.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron plates if necessary.
- Pour or scoop about ½ to ¾ cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron, depending on its size. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffle is cooked through and lightly crisp.
- Carefully remove the cooked waffle and place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the warm brownie waffles immediately, drizzled generously with chocolate sauce and sprinkled with extra chocolate chips.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure tender waffles. Overmixing can lead to a tough texture.
For extra richness, you can add 2 tablespoons of melted dark chocolate to the wet ingredients.
Keep cooked waffles warm in a single layer on a baking sheet in a low oven (around 200°F / 95°C) while you finish cooking the rest.
Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a toaster or waffle iron.
Consider serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh berries for a delightful contrast.
