Red Velvet Waffles for Valentines Day Breakfast

We are huge fans of fun waffles in the Hey Mom house, the kids love them for breakfast, dinner and every special occasion calls for some special waffles for them to enjoy. These Red Velvet Waffles were asked for, for our Valentine’s Day breakfast last year and they were a real hit with the kids. So I had to share them with you this year so you and your family can enjoy them too. So here you go our delicious red velvet waffles for breakfast on Valentine’s Day.

Valentine’s Day Breakfast Waffles

Although we don’t make a huge fuss of Valentine’s Day it’s nice to have a little treat especially if it falls in half term where I have a bit more time in the morning. These were requested by my eldest as he wanted some red waffles for Valentine’s day.

They are super fluffy and although they do take a little longer to prepare than our easy waffle recipe it is worth it for the taste.

1. Preheat the waffle iron.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, salt, and sugar.

4. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until thick and foamy. Add the whites to the bowl with the flour mixture and the red food colouring.
