This is really less of a recipe, and more of an idea, or a kitchen tip.
I like having dessert (have you noticed?) but I try not to run my oven too much in the summer. We don't have A/C, and I just don't want to heat the house up more than necessary!
So I decided to try making brownies in the waffle iron! And it worked!
I made the brownies from a box mix, as the package directed. Then I poured the batter into the hot waffle iron, just as I would make waffles.
Leave the batter in for about the same time as you would for waffles.
The brownie batter kept for several days in the refrigerator - so if you don't want to make them all in one evening (or morning! ha!) you could make fresh brownie waffles every night...
Top with ice cream and your desired toppings. Brownie sundaes without the oven - that works for me!

ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

Is the texture crispy on the outside but chewy on the inside?
ReplyDeleteAnon,
ReplyDeletemine were pretty soft throughout, however it was the first batch - my first batch of regular waffles are usually soft and then crisp up after that. I only made one batch, so I would imagine my second batch would have crisped up on the outside. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
THAT IS AWESOME!!!!! You hit on a great idea! Thanks for sharing your recipe and joining us for the TMTT anniversary today.

GREAT tip. That would be a fab base for ice cream...or even as an ice cream sandwich!
ReplyDeleteI love this, Sara! I gotta get me a waffle iron! :)
ReplyDeleteMy mom use to make these when I was growing up. She always made cream cheese frosting to put on these. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I can't wait to try it out! Thanks!

ReplyDeletegreat tip! i ♥ it!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis rocks! I'll bet they freeze pretty well, too? Awesome job!
ReplyDeletethat is SUCH fun...what a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a splendid idea :)
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome idea! We are trying to not use out stove, and I miss baking so much. I am going to have to try this. Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteSigh. I was using the excuse of not wanting to use the oven to keep me from overindulging on brownies. Looks like I'll have to come up with a new excuse now!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! I have a heart-shaped waffle iron I'll have to try these on. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my word, what a fantastic idea! I think I need to make brownies just so I can try it!
ReplyDeletecan't ever remember hearing a better idea. for real. patent that, stat.
ReplyDeleteOh my.....that looks sinful!
ReplyDeleteYum!
:)
Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if anything else bakes well in a waffle iron? This sounds like fun!
Wonderful! What a great idea! And you could top those with so many things.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I think I need brownie waffles for breakfast now! LOL I don't even have a waffle iron, but now I'm thinking I might need to get one.
ReplyDeleteWhat A great idea!!! I was about to bake brownies today and said..nah because of the oven!
ReplyDeleteThanks!

um, yum! nuff said.
ReplyDeleteI dont like sweets but thought this was an awesome idea so i went out to wal mart and bought a cheap 6 dollar waffle maker and made some! Make sure you dont put too much batter so it doesnt overflow and i only baked mine for 3 minutes or they burn, and they were too soft to take out so i had to shake them out and they crisped up in seconds, my toddler and I had them with ice cream. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI tried making these tonight, but...umm...it didn't work. Maybe I wasn't quite to doing it right, but I'll give it another try.
