Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour Blend
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- ⅓ cup cooking oil (canola, vegetable, coconut, or melted butter)
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or paste
- 1 to 1½ tablespoons red food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, apple cider vinegar, oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a little oil.
- Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using about ½ to ¾ cup of batter per waffle, depending on the size of your waffle iron.
- Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the waffles are golden and crisp.
- Remove the waffles carefully and serve with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
Notes
- Ensure you use a gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum, or you can add additional xanthan gum if your blend doesn’t include it.
- For an extra indulgent treat, top the waffles with cream cheese frosting or vegan cream cheese frosting.
- Adjust the amount of food coloring to achieve your desired level of redness.
