Start your morning with a delicious twist on a classic treat—these Vegan Red Velvet Waffles are as indulgent as they are wholesome! Made with all-natural ingredients like beetroot powder for a vibrant red hue, these waffles boast the signature cocoa-infused flavor of red velvet while staying entirely plant-based. A homemade vegan buttermilk using almond milk and apple cider vinegar ensures the waffles are tender and fluffy. Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, they make a delightful breakfast or brunch centerpiece. Top them with vegan cream cheese, fresh fruits, or a drizzle of maple syrup for an unforgettable meal. Easy to make in just 30 minutes, these vegan waffles are ideal for treating yourself or entertaining guests with an eye-catching and dairy-free dish.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and beetroot powder until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil to the almond milk mixture and stir well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix; a few lumps are fine.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with a bit of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/2 cup of batter per waffle or according to your waffle iron's specifications.
Cook the waffles until they are crispy and cooked through, usually about 5 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm, optionally topped with vegan cream cheese or fresh fruits.
