How to Make Brownie Waffles

Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, egg, cocoa powder, salt, monk fruit sweetener, and 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips. Stir until everything is well-blended and smooth.
Adjust Consistency: If your batter feels too thick, don’t hesitate! Gradually add 1-2 teaspoons of water until the mixture is easy to stir but not runny, maintaining a thick, cake-like texture.
Preheat Waffle Maker: Set your mini waffle maker to preheat according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and lightly grease the plates if necessary to prevent sticking.
Cook Waffles: Pour half of the batter into the preheated waffle maker, and sprinkle with half of the remaining chocolate chips. Close the lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until no steam escapes.
Repeat Baking: Carefully remove your first waffle, then repeat the process with the remaining batter and chocolate chips, ensuring each waffle gets that delightful chocolatey touch.

Optional: Top with a dollop of low-carb whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat!

Expert Tips for Brownie Waffles

Perfect Consistency: Start with a thick batter and gradually add water as needed. This ensures your brownie waffles maintain a delightful cake-like texture without becoming too runny.
Avoid Overcooking: Watch for steam! Remove them once no steam escapes. Overcooked waffles can become dry; achieving that perfect doneness is key for a rich, moist bite.
Storage Solutions: Keep your cooked brownie waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them to enjoy anytime while retaining the ideal texture.
Reheating Tips: To keep them crisp, avoid the microwave. Instead, reheat in the toaster or oven. It brings back their deliciously fluffy quality.
Customize Sweetness: Adjust the monk fruit sweetener in your batter if you desire a sweeter flavor. Taste as you go to find your perfect balance in these indulgent brownie waffles!

Storage Tips for Brownie Waffles

Room Temperature: Store leftover brownie waffles in a cool, dry place for up to 1 day. Wrap them in parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together.
Fridge: Keep cooked brownie waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. This will help maintain their texture and flavor.
Freezer: For longer storage, freeze brownie waffles by laying them flat on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. They can be stored for up to 3 months.
Reheating: Reheat your brownie waffles in a toaster or an oven to revive their crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess, and enjoy them warm!

Make Ahead Options

These Keto Brownie Waffles are perfect for meal prep enthusiasts! You can prepare the batter up to 24 hours in advance by mixing all the ingredients (peanut butter, egg, cocoa powder, salt, sweetener, and chocolate chips) and storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This not only saves time on busy mornings but also ensures your waffles are just as decadent, preserving their rich flavor and texture. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply preheat your waffle maker, pour in the batter, and cook for 2-3 minutes until no steam escapes. For leftovers, store cooked waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days and reheat in a toaster for crispy results.
