Ingredients
Scale
Waffle Batter
- 1 heaping tablespoon peanut butter (sugar-free)
- 1 large extra-large egg
- 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons monkfruit sweetener (optional, add if you enjoy sweet waffles)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar-free semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided)
- 1-2 teaspoons water (as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, egg, cocoa powder, pinch of salt, monkfruit sweetener (if using), and 1 tablespoon of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Mix well until all ingredients are blended smoothly.
- Adjust Consistency: Add 1-2 teaspoons of water as needed to thin the mixture to your desired consistency, ensuring the batter is easy to pour but not too runny.
- Preheat Waffle Maker: Preheat your mini waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s directions to ensure even cooking and crispy texture.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour half of the batter into the preheated waffle maker and sprinkle with half of the remaining chocolate chips on top. Close the waffle maker and cook for 2-3 minutes until no steam is emitting from the machine, indicating the waffles are fully cooked and crisp on the outside.
- Repeat: Remove the first waffle carefully and repeat the process with the remaining batter and chocolate chips to make the second waffle.
- Serve: Serve the warm brownie waffles immediately to enjoy their rich, gooey texture and chocolatey flavor.
Notes
- You can skip the monkfruit sweetener if you prefer less sweetness or want a more natural taste.
- Use a mini waffle maker or standard waffle iron, adjusting cooking time slightly if needed.
- Serve with fresh berries, low-sugar syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- Ensure peanut butter is smooth and sugar-free for best batter texture.
- Waffles are best enjoyed immediately but can be reheated in a toaster for a crispier finish.
