Brownie Mix Waffles Recipe
These waffles with brownie mix are SO fun to make. You only need a few ingredients, it can double as a dessert and everyone loves them.
Of course the kids think they’re “so cool!” We grabbed 1 box of Pillsbury brownie mix as well as a tub of their marshmallow frosting. I like to add fruit whenever possible, so strawberries seemed like a good match for this breakfast treat. If you tried and loved our cake mix brownies this is another tweak you’ll go crazy over.
If you’ve never mixed up a moment in the kitchen it’s fun! What I mean by that is….use a boxed mix to make something different that others may have thought of. Kids love thinking outside of the box and making their favorite breakfast, different. We have even made Cornmeal Waffles which are fun.
You are going to start with your Pillsbury brownie mix (there are several versions, we chose chocolate fudge). You would add the items listed on the back to make air fryer brownies let’s say. For this you do too but with 1 extra egg. That is it! With all the normal ingredients you’d need to make traditional brownies, but a bit thicker.
Brownie Batter Waffle Ingredients
- Box of brownie mix
- Ingredients listed on box
- Add 1 more egg than stated
It makes the outcome fudgier! This also can be used to make waffles in your waffle iron! Because it makes the batter a bit looser you can spoon on to a preheated machine to cook that way into a flat chocolate breakfast / dessert idea. Our favorite brownie hack.
That is subjective but typically with this sweet treat you get what you pay for. So, yes I do think that higher priced brownie mix is worth the extra dollar or so because it uses better ingredients and typically turns out more moist and fudgy.
Yes and no. You do need another egg in the batter to make the right texture to “bake” this way. Another tip is always pour on to a preheated and well sprayed grate. Non stick spray is a must even if yours has teflon so it slides off and doesn’t burn.
How do you use brownie mix to make waffles?
Once your batter is mixed preheat your waffle iron. When it is hot use plenty of cooking spray so they slide out, and use a 1/4 measuring cup for each one if yours is round or 1/2 cup if they are in sections like above. Add to your sprayed/prepared waffle iron. Slowly put down the top. It will take a bit longer than traditional waffles because it is more dense.
How do you know when a waffle is done?
When they look like this and aren’t wet any longer, just loosen the edges. The top should have lifted up as is rises and the outsides you can see should look baked. Slowly lift up the waffle iron top (this is where the non stick spray is very important). Use a fork to loosen it and lift it off on to a plate.
What can you use on waffles instead of syrup?
Instead of syrup use fluffy marshmallow frosting….here’s my kitchen hack for making frosting swirly and pretty! Use a pint sized freezer bag, empty the tub of frosting into it, zip tight, and snip the corner of the baggie off. Then you can squeeze out the frosting with less mess and you can make a swirly design or make a smiley face on your waffles (great way to frost cupcakes too)!
