Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring

Optional Toppings

  • Whipped cream
  • Fresh berries
  • Maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker and lightly grease it with nonstick spray to ensure the waffles do not stick and come out easily.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Then add buttermilk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and red food coloring, stirring well to blend all liquids thoroughly.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could make the waffles tough.
  5. Cook Waffles: Pour an appropriate amount of batter into your preheated waffle iron—enough to fill the mold without overflowing. Close the lid and cook the waffles according to your waffle maker’s instructions, usually about 3–5 minutes, until they are crisp and cooked through.
  6. Remove and Repeat: Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the iron and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
  7. Serve Warm: Serve your heart-shaped red velvet waffles warm with optional toppings like whipped cream, fresh berries, and maple syrup for a delicious breakfast or brunch treat.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a heart-shaped waffle maker, use a regular waffle maker and cut the waffles into heart shapes with a cookie cutter.
  • To make ahead, cook the waffles fully, let them cool, and freeze them between parchment paper layers.
  • Reheat frozen waffles in a toaster or oven to restore crispness.
