The traditional breakfast favorite is getting a chocolate-inspired makeover with a hybrid waffle-brownie. From savory chicken and waffles to endless dessert combinations, waffles are now used a variety of ways. In honor of National Waffle Day, here is an one of the easiest DIY waffle-brownie recipes.
This simple DIY teaches you how to make waffles using an unlikely source -- boxed brownies. The initial steps of the recipe is exactly the same as the box instructions, just add an extra egg. Scooping a third at a time, place the brownie mix in a waffle pan for five minutes and cook with the lid closed.
After the five minutes, remove the brownie and the brownie-waffle transformation is complete. This simple DIY reconstruction lets you enjoy yet another variation of the waffle, this time with a brownie base.
The next step is to smother your brownie-waffle with your favorite toppings, whipped cream, syrup, fresh fruit and even ice cream for a decadent, simple DIY dessert.
