Red Velvet Waffles Recipe – Eggless Version

Red Velvet Waffles – Egg free Version with a chocolate sauce

Red velvet waffles has been in my to do list ever since I made the plain waffles with whole wheat flour. Before making a video for the eggless waffles, I made a version with eggs, but didn’t make a video for that. And coincidentally, one of the members of Fun With Egg Free Baking group enquired about the red velvet waffles, after reading my previous posts. I know the time is finally right, so promised her that it will be uploaded this week. And here we are with the delicious red velvet waffles.

Red Velvet Waffles  Baking Inspiration

When I saw these cute heart shaped and rectangle waffle moulds from Amazon, I ordered them immediately. It was last year, during the lock down period, but I got to use it only twice before this recipe. I guess any food blogger can relate to this. And I also adapted my red velvet cake recipe to make these cute waffles. The recipe is not the same but is adapted to suit the moulds and was developed keeping mind the texture needed.

When doing anything red velvet, the colour is very important. For me tomato red liquid colour works. Some swear by gel colours. So use whichever suits you well. And addition of cocoa powder is game changing. If you use Dutch processed cocoa, you will end up with brownish red velvet waffles and only if you use raw cocoa, you will get bright colours. So make sure you use the right ingredient.

Red Velvet Waffles – How To Bake

Red velvet waffles are baked twice, once in the mould and next is out of the mould. The second baking is to ensure that the waffles have a good crisp crust while being soft in crumb. Otherwise you might feel like you are eating a cake.

Sugar – 100 gm

Baking Soda – 1/2 tsp

Raw Cocoa Powder – 1/2 tsp

Add sliced pistachios and allow it to cool.

You can warm this sauce before serving.

For The Waffles:

Preheat oven to 200°C.

Mix together maida, sugar, baking soda and cocoa powder.

Add milk, curd, melted butter, food colour and vinegar and mix well to form smooth thick batter.
