When I weighed nearly 300 lbs, I would make a pan of brownies, box brownies not homemade (no judging) and put frosting on top of the brownies. I wouldn’t stop at one or two. I would eat at least a row at a time.
But now that I have lost 125 pounds, I love this creative brownie recipe. I have eliminated the eggs, dairy, and some fat, so these sweet treats taste amazing. But the best part is they are healthier than a classic brownie recipe, and it’s like having brownies for breakfast, only healthier.

❓FAQ’s
How to freeze homemade waffles?
The best way to store brownie waffles is to let them cool completely and then follow these steps:
- Wrap Individually: Wrap each brownie waffle tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil or separate each waffle with parchment paper. This prevents them from drying out and protects against freezer burn.
- Place in a Freezer Bag: Place the individual waffles in a large freezer bag once wrapped. Squeeze out any excess air before sealing the bag to prevent freezer burn.
Stored this way, brownie waffles can last in the freezer for up to 3 months without losing quality. For more information regarding proper food storage, go to https://www.foodsafety.gov/

How to reheat frozen waffles?
The best way to reheat frozen brownie waffles is to use an oven or a toaster oven to preserve their texture and flavor. Here’s how:
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven or toaster oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Waffles: Place the frozen brownie waffles on a baking sheet. If they’re stuck together, gently separate them.
- Heat: Bake in the oven for about 8-10 minutes or until they are heated through and slightly crispy on the outside.
- Check for Doneness: Ensure the waffles are warm in the center. If needed, add a few more minutes.
