Yankee’s Crisp-Chewy Waffle Iron Brownies
This recipe for waffle iron brownies is so clever that we’re wondering why it ever got lost. The outside stays crispy while the inside remains fudgy. Yum!

This recipe sounds excellent for summer, when you need to bring a dessert but don’t want to heat your oven in the heat. Can’t wait to try it.
This would make a wonderful Ice Cream Sandwich
Great minds!! ????
This sounds like it might take at least 8 minutes to make 2 brownies? ( Maybe with tablespoonsfull we could fit more than 1 on a single hot plate, or more than 1 on each side of a double – ya think? ( They will spread out a bit..)
Now I’m wondering how to make an approximation of these without a waffle iron.
Hi Mary Lou. We developed this recipe specifically for use with a waffle iron. If you will be baking a traditional pan of brownies, this recipe is a favorite of our Senior Food Editor. https://newengland.com/today/food/best-ever-brownies-step-step-recipe/ Happy baking!
I just tried these and enjoyed the result, but will add these thoughts: the “batter” is definitely a cookie dough and after several tries with a scoop in each quarter of the iron, I finally put a large glob in the center of the iron and the result was much better. My first waffle was very dry and crisp after 4 minutes, so I reduced the time to 3 and that worked to produce the brownie as described. What I’d love to figure out is how to make them a bit more moist. To remove from the iron it is very important to follow the directions and let them sit until nearly cool. They will indeed fall apart otherwise. Always keep in mind that iron temperatures, sizes and shapes can vary, so experiment with all aspects of this recipe.
Well, it definitely did not work in my Sunbeam waffle iron. Once we scraped the cooked batter out and it dried, it was great. We finished the rest if the batter in the microwave.
