Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 1 cup buttermilk

Instructions
- Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

- In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, eggs, vegetable oil, red food coloring, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Lightly grease the waffle maker with cooking spray or oil.
- Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle maker (about ½ to ¾ cup, depending on the size of your machine).

- Serve the red velvet waffles warm with cream cheese syrup or your choice of toppings.
Notes
For a fun twist, consider adding chocolate chips to the batter for extra sweetness.
Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze them for longer storage.
Reheat in a toaster or waffle maker for a crispy texture.
