Ingredients
Scale
- 1¾ cups (254 g) gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sifted Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

- 1¼ cups (300 ml) lactose-free whole milk, at room temperature
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon red liquid or gel paste food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Notes
- Ensure all your ingredients are gluten-free, especially the baking powder.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk with a plant-based alternative and use a dairy-free butter substitute.
- The red color can vary depending on the type of food coloring used; gel paste food coloring often provides a more vibrant hue.
