Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Brownie Waffle

Step 1: Mix Ingredients
In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 1 egg, 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, and 2 tablespoons of monk fruit sweetener. Stir until smooth, ensuring all elements are fully incorporated. If the mixture appears too thick, gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you achieve a thick yet pourable consistency.

Step 2: Preheat Waffle Maker
Set up your mini waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions and preheat it for about 5 minutes, or until the indicator light shows it’s ready. This crucial step ensures the perfect crisp on your brownie waffles. Keeping the heat at a steady temperature will help achieve that delightful, slightly chewy texture reminiscent of rich brownies.

Step 3: Cook Waffles
Once your waffle maker is preheated, spoon half of the brownie batter into the center of the hot plates. Sprinkle half of the 2 tablespoons of sugar-free semi-sweet chocolate chips on top, and close the lid. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until no steam escapes and the sides begin to crisp, indicating your Brownie Waffle is perfectly done.

Step 4: Repeat Process
Carefully remove the first waffle using a fork, being cautious of the hot surfaces. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding the rest of the chocolate chips to the second waffle. Each waffle should take around 2-3 minutes to cook, giving you two delightful Brownie Waffles in no time!

Step 5: Serve Warm
Serve your delicious brownie waffles warm off the iron, either plain or dressed up. They are fantastic topped with a dab of butter and a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup. Alternatively, feel free to get creative and transform them into a decadent dessert by pairing them with a scoop of keto ice cream or dolloping homemade whipped cream on top.
