Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Red food coloring
• 2 units Eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Whisk together to ensure everything is mixed well.

Step 3

In another medium bowl, mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to curdle slightly, turning it into 'buttermilk'.

Step 4

Add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and red food coloring to the almond milk mixture and stir until combined.

Step 5

Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in the wet mixture and the whites in a separate clean bowl.

Step 6

Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks.

Step 7

Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed, then gently fold in the beaten egg whites until they are fully incorporated.

Step 8

Lightly grease the waffle iron with a non-stick spray or a small amount of oil.

Step 9

Pour enough batter onto the waffle iron to cover the surface and close the lid. Cook until the waffles are crisp and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per waffle, depending on your waffle iron.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping finished waffles warm in an oven set to low heat, if necessary.

Step 11

Serve warm with your choice of toppings like fresh berries, maple syrup, or a dollop of dairy-free whipped cream.
