For the Batter

Peanut Butter – Adds creaminess and healthy fats; substitute with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for allergy-friendly options.
Egg – Provides structure and moisture; for a vegan option, use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tbsp water).
Cocoa Powder – Contributes a deep chocolate flavor; unsweetened cocoa powder keeps it low-sugar.
Monk Fruit Sweetener – Offers sweetness without carbs; erythritol can be used as a substitute, or you can omit it for less sweetness.
Salt – Enhances overall flavor; consider using Himalayan pink salt or sea salt for added mineral benefits.
Sugar-free Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips – Add extra chocolatey goodness; opt for dairy-free chocolate chips for a dairy-free version.
Water – Used to adjust the batter consistency; it can make your mixture smooth if it becomes too thick.

With these ingredients, you’re well on your way to creating irresistible brownie waffles that satisfy both cravings and dietary needs!

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Keto Brownie Waffles

Step 1: Mix the Batter
In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1 egg, 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of monk fruit sweetener. Stir until well blended, then add water gradually, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency. Finally, fold in 2 tablespoons of sugar-free semi-sweet chocolate chips for that extra chocolatey goodness.

Step 2: Preheat the Waffle Maker
Preheat your mini waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically taking about 3 minutes. If desired, lightly spray the waffle plates with cooking oil to prevent sticking. A hot, ready waffle maker is essential for achieving that perfect crispy exterior while keeping the inside fudgy for your delightful brownie waffles.

Step 3: Cook the First Waffle
Pour half of your prepared batter (from Step 1) into the preheated waffle maker, ensuring it spreads evenly. Top this with half of the remaining chocolate chips to enhance both flavor and presentation. Close the lid and cook the waffle for about 2-3 minutes, or until no steam escapes, indicating that it’s fully cooked yet still rich and soft inside.

Step 4: Serve the First Waffle
Carefully open the waffle maker and use a fork to remove the first keto brownie waffle; it should look fluffy and have a slightly crispy texture on the outside. Place it on a plate and feel free to drizzle a little sugar-free syrup or sprinkle confectioner’s erythritol if desired. This step ensures the first one is ready while the next batch cooks.

Step 5: Repeat the Process
Now, pour the remaining batter into the preheated waffle maker, topping with the last of the chocolate chips. Close the lid and repeat the cooking process, timing it for another 2-3 minutes. As the second keto brownie waffle cooks, prepare your serving area for a delightful presentation of this chocolatey treat!

Step 6: Enjoy the Brownie Waffles
Once all the keto brownie waffles are cooked, serve them warm and enjoy the decadent, rich flavors they bring to your breakfast or dessert table. You can top them with a pat of butter or freshly whipped cream for an indulgent experience, proving that healthy eating can be a guilt-free pleasure!

Make Ahead Options

These Keto Brownie Waffles are fantastic for meal prep enthusiasts looking to save time during busy mornings! You can prepare the batter up to 24 hours in advance by combining all the ingredients in a bowl and storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will keep the mixture fresh and ready to cook! For an even quicker option, you can cook the waffles and refrigerate them for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to enjoy your delicious brownie waffles, simply reheat them in an air fryer or toaster to maintain their crispy texture—avoiding the microwave will keep them from becoming soggy. Enjoy restaurant-quality results with minimal effort, and savor the warm, chocolatey goodness anytime!

Expert Tips for Brownie Waffles

Perfect Consistency: Make sure your batter is smooth and pourable. If it’s too thick, gradually add water until you achieve the right consistency for your brownie waffles.

Avoid Microwaving: When reheating leftover waffles, skip the microwave. Instead, pop them in an air fryer or oven to maintain that crispy exterior and fudgy inside.
Custom Sweetness: Adjust the monk fruit sweetener to suit your taste. You can modify it according to your preference or even omit it for a less sweet treat.
Storage Tips: Store leftover brownie waffles in an airtight container for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months; just reheat in an air fryer or toaster before serving.

Keto Brownie Waffles Recipe FAQs

What type of peanut butter should I use?
I recommend using creamy, natural peanut butter for the best texture and flavor. If you have nut allergies or prefer something different, almond butter or sunflower seed butter works beautifully as substitutes.

How should I store leftover brownie waffles?
Store your leftover brownie waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To freeze, lay them out in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.

Can I reheat the keto brownie waffles?
Absolutely! To keep the waffles crispy, reheat them in an air fryer or toaster. Avoid microwaving as it may turn them soggy—just a couple of minutes in the air fryer will do wonders!

What if my batter is too thick?
If you find your batter is too thick, simply add water gradually, about one tablespoon at a time, mixing well until you achieve a smooth, pourable consistency. This ensures your waffles cook evenly and have that delightful fudgy texture.

Are these brownie waffles safe for people with allergies?
Yes, you can easily adjust the recipe for allergies. Use a flax egg instead of a regular egg for a vegan option, and replace peanut butter with a seed butter for nut allergies. Always double-check labels for any sugar-free ingredients to avoid unwanted allergens.
