Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons red food coloring
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for cream cheese drizzle)
2 ounces cream cheese, softened (for cream cheese drizzle)
1 tablespoon milk (for cream cheese drizzle)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cream cheese drizzle)

Instructions

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the buttermilk, egg, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until well combined.
Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
Cook the Waffles: Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, using a ladle or measuring cup. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 3-5 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
Prepare Cream Cheese Drizzle: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.
Serve: Drizzle the cream cheese mixture over the warm waffles and top with fresh strawberries or your favorite berries. Enjoy!
