Red Velvet Waffles

by

Kicking off our Valentine’s Day series with the perfect breakfast for your Valentine.

Lucky for us, Chef K’s mom had the perfect waffle maker for the holiday. It made our waffles into the perfect shape of 5 hearts. And in the spirit of the month of love – We love when things just work out 😉


Unlike many dishes, the fruit is NOT a garnish. The blueberries actually complement the chocolate of the waffles really well, so do not forget them!

We converted Chef K’s younger brother (not a waffle or pancake fan) into a waffle believer. When you can convert a teenager, I consider that a major success.

Keep your fruit on your waffles, not the floor,

  • 1½ tbsp hemp milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron.
  2. Mix together almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit for a few minutes to become “buttermilk”.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: almond flour, arrowroot starch, coconut flour, cocoa powder, and salt..
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, butter, “buttermilk”, vanilla, honey and food coloring.
  5. Slowly whisk in dry ingredients to wet ingredients until mixture becomes smooth.
  6. Pour about ½ cup of batter into your waffle iron, but this may vary depending on your waffle iron. Cook based on your waffle iron instructions.
  7. While your waffles are cooking, combine all the icing ingredients together and whisk until smooth.
  8. When your waffles have cooled a little, drizzle your icing over the waffle and serve with blueberries on top. (We added diced strawberries too, but that’s optional.)
