Stack them and add whipped cream between layers — brownie waffle tower, anyone?
Garnish with berries, mint leaves, or a sprinkle of edible gold dust for extra flair.

✨ Pro Tips

Don’t overmix the batter — it keeps the waffles soft inside.
Use a non-stick waffle maker for easy release.
Make extra and freeze them — they reheat perfectly in the toaster!

🙌 Make It Ahead — It Gets Even Better!

Brownie waffles are just as delicious the next day — maybe even better!
Here’s how to prep them ahead:

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Reheat in a toaster or oven at 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes — they’ll crisp right back up!
Freeze extra waffles (layered with parchment paper) for up to 2 months. Perfect for quick chocolatey breakfasts.

The flavor deepens overnight, making your second bite even richer and more brownie-like!

🍫 A Bite of Comfort

Every bite of these brownie waffles is rich, chocolatey, and slightly crisp on the edges. It’s like a brownie and waffle had a sweet little baby — and honestly, it’s pure breakfast magic.

Whether you drizzle them with maple syrup or stack them high with ice cream, you’re in for an indulgent treat that works any time of the day.

🎨 Serving Suggestions

Serve these waffles on a cozy Sunday morning with hot coffee or after dinner as a decadent dessert.
If you’re hosting a brunch, set up a “Brownie Waffle Bar” with toppings like fruits, sauces, and whipped cream — guaranteed crowd-pleaser!

🤎 Fun Fact

The first waffle irons were used in the 14th century — but imagine if they’d had chocolate batter back then! We might’ve had brownie waffles centuries earlier!
