Description

Treat your breakfast to a splash of color and indulgent flavor with these Red Velvet Waffles. A soft, cocoa-kissed twist on classic waffles that feel like dessert on a plate.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon red food coloring
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix buttermilk, eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla until smooth. Add red food coloring and stir to combine.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry mixture and stir until just mixed. Do not over-mix.
Lightly grease the waffle iron, pour in the batter, and cook until the waffles are set and golden.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings like whipped cream, maple syrup, or berries.

Notes

Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra depth. Leftovers can be frozen between parchment and reheated for a quick breakfast treat. For a lighter version, swap in whole wheat flour or use applesauce instead of some oil.
