Brownie Waffle Ingredients

For the Batter

Peanut Butter – Provides creaminess and rich flavor; substitute with any seed butter for nut-free options.
Egg – Acts as a binder and adds protein; no substitutions suggested for best results.
Cocoa Powder – Delivers a deep chocolate flavor; ensure it’s unsweetened for keto compliance.
Monk Fruit Sweetener – Adds sweetness without carbs; omit if you prefer less sweet waffles.
Salt – Enhances overall flavor; consider using sea salt for an extra taste boost.
Sugar-Free Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips – Adds bursts of chocolate in the waffles; choose dairy-free chocolate chips for a dairy-free option.
Water – Used to adjust the batter’s consistency if it’s too thick.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Brownie Waffle

Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, egg, unsweetened cocoa powder, monk fruit sweetener, and salt. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous. If the batter is too thick, gradually add water until you achieve a mixable consistency. This brownie waffle batter should be thick yet pourable, resembling a rich chocolate pudding.

Step 2: Preheat Your Waffle Maker
While your batter is coming together, plug in your mini waffle maker and preheat it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If needed, lightly grease the surfaces with a small amount of cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking. You’ll know it’s ready when the indicator light shows that it has reached the proper temperature.

Step 3: Cook the First Waffle
Carefully pour half of the brownie waffle batter onto the preheated waffle maker, ensuring it spreads evenly without overflowing. Sprinkle half of the sugar-free semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the batter. Close the lid and let the waffle cook for 2-3 minutes until steam stops escaping. The waffle should appear firm and slightly crisp on the outside when done.

Step 4: Remove and Repeat
Gently open the waffle maker and use a fork to remove the cooked brownie waffle, taking care not to damage its shape. Place it on a cooling rack or plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter and chocolate chips to make another delicious brownie waffle, ensuring each one cooks thoroughly for the best texture.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once all the brownie waffles are cooked, get creative with your toppings! Consider drizzling them with sugar-free syrup, adding a dollop of whipped cream, or even a sprinkle of berries for a delightful finish. These keto brownie waffles are now ready to be savored—perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a sweet snack!

How to Store and Freeze Brownie Waffles

Keto Brownie Waffles Recipe FAQs

What type of peanut butter should I use for the batter?
Absolutely! I recommend using natural peanut butter without added sugars or hydrogenated oils for the best flavor and texture. You can also substitute any seed butter like sunflower seed butter if you’re looking for a nut-free option.

How can I store leftover brownie waffles?
Store any leftover brownie waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This keeps them fresh and ready for a quick morning treat or snack whenever you crave something chocolatey!

Yes, indeed! To freeze your brownie waffles, wrap each one individually in plastic wrap, or place them in a freezer-safe bag. They will stay fresh for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply reheat them in a toaster or oven for a crispy finish.

How can I avoid soggy brownie waffles when reheating?
To prevent sogginess, avoid using the microwave! Instead, reheat your brownie waffles in a toaster or an oven set to 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes. This will restore crispiness and maintain their delicious texture.

Are these brownie waffles suitable for dietary restrictions?
Very! You can easily make these brownie waffles dairy-free by swapping out sugar-free chocolate chips for a dairy-free alternative. For nut allergies, sunflower seed butter is a great nut-free option. Always double-check other ingredients for allergens to ensure safety.

What should I do if my waffle batter is too thick?
No worries at all! If your batter seems too thick and isn’t pourable, simply add water a tablespoon at a time until you reach a smooth, mixable consistency. Aim for a texture that resembles rich chocolate pudding—thick yet fluid enough to pour into the waffle maker easily.
