Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons red food coloring

Optional Toppings

  • Powdered sugar
  • Cream cheese frosting
  • Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries)
  • Whipped cream
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Semi-sweet chocolate chips (for chocolate chip swirl variation)
  • Berry compote (as alternate topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure an even distribution of all dry components.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, vegetable oil (or melted butter), vanilla extract, and red food coloring until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
  3. Combine and Create the Marble Effect: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing. Divide the batter into two bowls: leave one uncolored and add extra cocoa powder and red food coloring to the other to deepen color and flavor. Alternate spoonfuls of each batter onto the preheated waffle iron and swirl them together gently with a skewer or knife to create the marbled pattern.
  4. Cook the Waffles: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Pour or spoon the marbled batter onto the iron, close the lid, and cook for about 4-6 minutes, or until waffles are crisp on the outside and cooked through.
  5. Serve Warm: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your choice of toppings such as powdered sugar, cream cheese frosting, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Preheat your waffle iron thoroughly to achieve a crispy exterior.
  • Do not overmix the batter; stir until ingredients are just combined to maintain fluffy waffles.
  • Use a skewer or toothpick to create distinct marbled swirls without overblending the batters.
  • Add buttermilk gradually if batter is too thick to get the right consistency for waffles.
  • Use non-stick spray or brush oil on the waffle iron to prevent sticking.
