Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1.25 cups buttermilk
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 tablespoon red food coloring
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, melt the butter. Let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar until thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or brush with a little oil.

Step 7

Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, using approximately 1/2 cup for each waffle, but adjust based on your waffle iron's size.

Step 8

Cook the waffles until they are crisp and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes, or according to your waffle iron's instructions.

Step 9

Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter.

Step 10

Serve the red velvet waffles with your choice of toppings, such as whipped cream, cream cheese glaze, or fresh berries.
