Ingredients for One Serving

• 1 heaping tablespoon peanut butter, (sugar free)
• 1 large extra large egg
• 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons monkfruit sweetener (optional, only add if you enjoy sweet waffles)
• pinch salt
• 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar-free semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided.
• 1-2 teaspoons of water as needed

Quick Waffle Instructions

1. Combine creamy peanut butter, egg, cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, monk fruit sweetener (optional), and 1 tablespoon of the chocolate chips in a mixing bowl.
2. Stir until smooth; if batter is very thick, add 1–2 teaspoons of water gradually until easy to mix but not runny.
3. Preheat the mini waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Lightly spray the heated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray if you’re worried about sticking.
5. Spoon half the batter onto the waffle maker and sprinkle half of the remaining chocolate chips on top.
6. Close the lid and cook 2–3 minutes, or until steam stops and the edges look set.

7. Carefully remove the cooked waffle from the iron.
8. Repeat spooning the remaining batter, sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips, and cook 2–3 minutes until done.

Toppings and Serving Tips

These keto brownie waffles taste great straight from the maker, but you can dress them up depending on your mood! A little melted butter and a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup is an easy, classic way to enjoy them. For a fancier breakfast, try some homemade whipped cream or a smear of cream cheese frosting. Feeling extra indulgent? Top with keto-friendly ice cream, drizzle with sugar-free caramel, and add a chocolate ganache drizzle for a dessert waffle sundae you won’t forget! For crunch, sprinkle over some crumbled keto cottage cheese chocolate chip cookies.

Low-Carb Drinks to Serve with Your Waffles:

• Caramel Frappuccino
• Keto-friendly smoothie
• Mocha Frappuccino
• Vanilla Bourbon Iced Latte

• Chai Frappuccino

Storage & Freezing

These waffles taste best when fresh, but they’ll keep nicely in the fridge for 4 to 5 days if stored in an airtight container. To stretch them further, freeze your waffles by laying them flat on a plate or baking sheet for 2-3 hours. Once frozen solid, pop them into a labeled freezer bag or airtight container. They’ll keep fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months without losing their fudgy texture.

How to Reheat Your Waffles

Microwaves can make waffles soggy, which is no fun, so try these methods instead to keep them crispy and delicious:

• Oven – Best when heating multiple waffles. Preheat to 350°F. Place waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet and cover with foil. Warm for about 5 minutes or longer if frozen or reheating more.
• Air Fryer – For perfectly crisp waffles, preheat to 350°F and heat 1-2 waffles for 1-2 minutes until crispy to your liking.
• Waffle maker – Preheat the iron and warm a waffle inside for 1-3 minutes until heated through and slightly crisp.
• Toaster – Works best for thawed waffles. Toast until warmed and as crispy as you like.

Flavor Swaps and Add-Ins

• Swap out the peanut butter for almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower/pepita seed butter for a nut-free version.
• Use dairy-free and sugar-free chocolate chips to make this recipe dairy-free.
• If you’re not following keto, swap monk fruit for regular sugar or your sweetener of choice (this changes the carb count).
• Mix it up with add-ins like chopped nuts, sugar-free caramel chips, or a dusting of espresso powder for a richer chocolate flavor. Keep some chips aside to sprinkle on top before cooking.
• Add a flavor twist with ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a touch of orange zest.
• For serving, try butter with sugar-free maple syrup, whipped cream, cream cheese icing, or keto ice cream to dress them up like a dessert.
• If you have a full-size waffle iron, make one larger waffle (adjust cook time accordingly), or double/triple the batch for meal prep and freeze extras.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Store your cooked keto brownie waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Want to keep them longer? Freeze them by placing waffles flat on a plate or baking sheet for 2-3 hours, then transfer to a freezer bag or airtight container for up to 3 months while preserving texture.

When ready to reheat, avoid the microwave to keep waffles from getting soggy. Instead, try:

• Oven: Preheat to 350°F. Spread waffles on a baking sheet, cover loosely with foil, and heat for 5+ minutes (longer if frozen or reheating many).
• Air fryer: Preheat to 350°F. Heat 1-2 waffles for 1-2 minutes, adding extra time if frozen, until crispy.
• Waffle maker: Warm the iron, then pop a waffle in and heat for 1-3 minutes till warmed and slightly crisp.
• Toaster: Works great for thawed waffles; toast until heated with crisp edges.

Make-ahead tip: Double or triple your batch, freeze extras, and quickly reheat for convenient breakfasts or desserts whenever the craving hits.

Quick Answers to Common Questions

• Can I use a full-size waffle maker? – Absolutely! You’ll get one larger waffle instead of two mini ones. Just keep an eye on your cooking time and wait until the steam stops before removing it; the doneness cues are similar to our Cottage Cheese Waffles.
• Are these waffles dairy-free or nut-free? – You can easily make them dairy-free by using dairy-free chocolate chips. For nut-free, swap your peanut butter for a seed butter like sunflower or pumpkin seed.
• Can I use regular sugar or other sweeteners instead of monk fruit? – Yes, but keep in mind this will increase the carb count.
• Are these waffles egg-free or vegan? – This recipe hasn’t been tested without eggs. Eggs give structure and moisture, so any substitutes like flax eggs might change texture and aren’t guaranteed to work.
• Why add water to the batter? – Some peanut butters are thicker than others. Adding 1-2 teaspoons of water helps loosen the batter so it mixes and cooks evenly without becoming runny.
• How do I stop waffles from sticking? – Preheat your waffle iron fully and spray it lightly with nonstick spray if you notice sticking happening.
• How do I know when the waffles are done? – Cook for about 2-3 minutes in a mini waffle maker. You’ll know the waffle is ready when the steam stops and the edges look firm and set.
• How many waffles does this recipe make and what are the macros? – The recipe makes two mini waffles in the Dash mini waffle maker. Each waffle has about 105 calories and roughly 2.9 net carbs when made with monk fruit sweetener.
