Ingredients
    For the Vanilla Waffle Batter
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk (room temperature)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • For the Red Velvet Batter
  • 0.5 cup prepared vanilla waffle batter
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp red food coloring
  • 0.5 tsp white vinegar
    • Optional Toppings
  • Whipped cream
  • Fresh strawberries or raspberries
  • Maple syrup or honey
  • Powdered sugar
Instructions
    Prepare the Dry Ingredients
  1. 1
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined. This ensures light and fluffy waffles.
    2. Mix the Wet Ingredients
  2. 2
    In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
    3. Combine the Batter
  3. 3
    Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
    4. Create the Red Velvet Batter
  4. 4
    Scoop 0.5 cup of the prepared batter into a small bowl. Add cocoa powder, milk, red food coloring, and vinegar. Mix until smooth and evenly colored.
    5. Preheat the Waffle Iron
  5. 5
    Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions and lightly grease it with oil or butter.
    6. Marble the Batter
  6. 6
    Pour vanilla batter into the waffle iron first. Add spoonfuls of red velvet batter on top. Use a skewer or knife to gently swirl the batters together for a marble effect.
    7. Cook the Waffles
  7. 7
    Close the waffle iron and cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the waffles are crisp on the outside and cooked through.
    8. Serve Warm
  8. 8
    Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Note

Use gel food coloring for deeper red color without thinning the batter.

Do not over-swirl the batter; light swirls create the best marble pattern.

Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freeze waffles for up to 1 month and reheat in a toaster or oven.

For a richer taste, serve with cream cheese glaze or vanilla yogurt.
