Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1-2 drops red food coloring
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Cream Cheese Drizzle:
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons milk or buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and cocoa powder.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. For the cream cheese drizzle, beat the softened cream cheese in a small bowl until smooth.
  6. Gradually add the milk or buttermilk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, beating until the drizzle is smooth and pourable. Add more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.
  7. Lightly grease your waffle iron if necessary. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until golden brown and cooked through, typically 3-5 minutes.
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  9. Serve the waffles warm, generously drizzled with the cream cheese mixture.

Notes

  • For a richer red color, you can add an extra drop of food coloring.
  • Buttermilk can be substituted by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 3/4 cups of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Feel free to add chocolate chips to the batter before cooking for an extra treat.
  • Garnish with fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
