Waffle Iron Brownies
The iron gives these waffle iron brownies crispy ridges, but the inside remains rich and fudgy. They’re novel and fun and incredibly easy to make.

LOVE this idea! Thanks, Amy. Do you think it would be more effective in a Belgian waffle maker than a traditional maker? I have the latter, and from your photos, it looks like you do too. Hoping it doesn’t matter.
Love this! Can’t wait to make them for Emmett and David. Now I know what to ask for for Mother’s Day. One of those fancy, space-saving gizmo’s you’ve got!
Hi Julie! Hmmm…the Belgian waffle-maker has deeper grooves, but I think either type of iron will work.
Amy, I am in love with this post!! The Yankee archives are a culinary treasure trove, and it’s so much fun combing through them and re-imagining some of the recipes for today. These waffle brownies look so fun — and tasty. 🙂
This was an enjoyable read. I will certainly try this recipe because it puts a whole new (yet old) twist on the brownie.
My guess is that with all that sugar, a nonstick (i.e. modern) waffle iron is essential?
Good thought, Hank. What about traditional Belgian waffle irons for gaufres de liege? Those are so sugary and yet they don’t seem to stick to the pan. But to be safe, a nonstick surface would give you some insurance.
I’m in the process of putting these into the waffle iron! I used the chocolate I had on hand which was a little of Lindt and some dark Scharffen Berger, but I weighted it to be the correct ounces present in the recipe. I also used Cabot butter. The batter is thick and yummy raw! So, as soon as the iron is ready, I’m gonna do this and get back to you!!
Oh MY!!! These are DELICIOUS. They are crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside and oh so chocolatey! You really do have to allow them the full 2 minutes to cool on the waffle iron before you remove them because they will fall apart as I can attest to because I as overly anxious. I love this recipe….what can I try next, Aimee?
My waffle maker just sits on the top shelf gathering dust (ok so I WANT to cook waffles more often but it doesn’t seem to happen except for our annual vacation to Maine!) I was just thinking about moving this appliance from my pantry to the basement. BUT you just put the brakes on that idea. I can’t WAIT to try this recipe. My favorite part of any brownie are the corner pieces – two crusty edges! Now there’ll be no fighting over the edges (which really it means I won’t have to hide them from the kids). Thanks for this Nouveau Vintage recipe!
brownies are my favs i will be making this one thank you.
