Indulge in Fudgy Brownie Waffles for a Decadent Breakfast Treat
Some mornings call for something extraordinary. Not toast. Not cereal. Not even classic waffles.
Some mornings demand chocolate.
Fudgy Brownie Waffles are what happen when your favorite rich brownie meets a crisp-edged waffle iron. They’re deeply chocolatey, slightly crisp on the outside, soft and gooey in the center, and absolutely perfect for brunch, dessert, or late-night cravings.
If you’ve ever wondered what happens when brownie batter hits a waffle iron — this is your sign to find out.
Why You’ll Love Fudgy Brownie Waffles
- Crisp edges, fudgy centers
- Deep chocolate flavor
- Perfect for brunch or dessert
- Customizable toppings
- Freezer-friendly
- Quick to prepare
They’re indulgent but easy. Decadent yet simple. And once you try them, regular waffles may never feel the same again.
What Makes Brownie Waffles Different?
Traditional waffles are fluffy and airy. Brownie waffles are dense, rich, and moist — more like a dessert than breakfast.
The secret lies in:
- Melted chocolate or cocoa powder
- Higher fat content
- Less leavening
- Slight undercooking for fudginess
The waffle iron creates crispy ridges while sealing in a soft interior. The result? Texture heaven.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: 1/4 cup dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions. Lightly grease if necessary.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In another large bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
- Stir in vanilla extract and milk.
- Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips and optional chocolate chunks.
- Scoop batter into preheated waffle iron (about 1/2 cup per waffle, depending on size).
- Cook 3–5 minutes, or until edges are crisp but center remains fudgy.
- Carefully remove and cool slightly before serving.
Topping Ideas
- Powdered sugar dusting
- Fresh strawberries or raspberries
- Vanilla ice cream
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate drizzle
- Salted caramel sauce
- Peanut butter drizzle
- Crushed nuts
Pro Tips for Perfect Brownie Waffles
- Don’t overcook — they continue to set as they cool.
- Use good quality cocoa for richer flavor.
- Let waffle iron fully preheat before adding batter.
- For extra crispiness, cook slightly longer.
- For ultra fudgy centers, reduce cook time by 30 seconds.
