Chocolate Almond Lava Waffle Cubes (Crispy Outside, Gooey Inside)

There’s something about crispy waffles that always feels satisfying.

But these take it further.

Golden waffle cubes with a crunchy exterior and a warm chocolate center with a hint of almond hidden inside. Each bite starts crisp, then melts into something smooth, rich, and just slightly nutty.

What you’ll need

For the waffle batter:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 egg
• ¾ cup milk
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

For the filling:

• ½ cup chocolate chunks
• ¼ tsp almond extract

How it comes together

In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and baking powder.

Add the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla, then whisk until smooth.

Pour the batter into a waffle maker and cook until golden and crisp.

Let the waffle cool slightly, then cut into small cubes.

Gently open each cube and insert a small piece of chocolate with a tiny drop of almond extract.

Warm them slightly in the oven or microwave just until the chocolate melts inside.

The best part

Break one open while it’s still warm.

The chocolate center melts instantly, blending with that subtle almond flavor into a rich, smooth filling inside the crispy waffle shell.
