Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (Consider gluten-free flour for a different texture.)
- 1 cup Sugar (Adjust for your preferred taste.)
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk (Substitute with milk plus a splash of vinegar for DIY buttermilk.)
- 2 Eggs (Flax eggs work for a vegan version.)
- 1/2 cup Melted Butter (Can be swapped with a dairy-free alternative.)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (Almond extract can be a delightful twist.)
- 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder (Imparts that signature chocolate flavor of red velvet.)
- 1 large Egg (For a vegan option, use a flax egg.)
- 1/2 cup Melted Butter (Consider using oil as an alternative.)
- 1 tbsp Red Food Coloring (Feel free to omit for classic waffles.)
Instructions
- Prepare Classic Waffle Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed to keep the batter fluffy.
- Prepare Red Velvet Batter: In another bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a different bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Mix the wet and dry ingredients gently until just combined.
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Follow your waffle iron’s instructions to preheat it. A properly heated iron ensures a fluffy texture and beautiful browning!
- Create Marble Effect: Lightly grease the waffle iron. Pour a layer of classic batter, followed by the red velvet batter. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the batters together, creating a stunning marble effect.
- Cook Waffles: Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through, following the manufacturer’s time recommendations.
- Serve: Enjoy your warm, delightful waffles topped with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
- These waffles can be made vegan by substituting eggs with flax eggs and butter with dairy-free alternatives.
- For a lighter option, you can use an oil substitute instead of melted butter.
- Adjust the sugar based on your sweetness preference.
