Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 3/4 cups (420ml) buttermilk (or milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar)
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) prepared classic batter
  • 2 tablespoons (12g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-process preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) red food coloring (liquid or gel)
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons (30g) mini chocolate chips
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream or vanilla yogurt
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
  • Optional toppings: powdered sugar
  • Optional: cream cheese glaze (2 oz cream cheese, 2 tablespoons milk, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Batter should be thick but pourable. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  4. For the red velvet batter, take 1 cup of the classic batter and fold in cocoa powder, red food coloring, and white vinegar. Stir gently until evenly colored. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  5. Preheat waffle iron to medium-high (about 375°F/190°C) and lightly grease.
  6. Pour half classic batter and half red velvet batter into the waffle iron. Swirl gently with a toothpick or knife for a marbled effect.
  7. Close lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, until waffles are golden, crisp, and steam has slowed. Repeat with remaining batter.
  8. Transfer cooked waffles to a cooling rack to keep them crisp.
  9. Serve warm with whipped cream, berries, powdered sugar, or cream cheese glaze.

Notes

For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, substitute plant-based milk and butter. Beet powder or juice can be used for natural coloring. Let batter rest for fluffier waffles. Marbling takes practice—swirl gently for best results. Waffles can be made ahead and kept warm in a low oven or frozen for later.
