Equipment
Ingredients
For Red Velvet Waffles
- 15.25 oz red velvet cake mix
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 large eggs
For Cream Cheese Glaze
- 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
- ½ cup whole milk
- ⅔ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together cake mix, eggs, milk, and oil.
- Preheat your waffle iron. Add enough batter to the middle of the hot waffle iron to cover half of the surface of the iron. Close the iron and bake according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- While the waffles bake, use a hand mixer to blend milk, cream cheese, and powdered sugar in a separate bowl.
- Once waffles are baked, drizzle with cream cheese glaze.
Notes
- To reheat, toast in an air fryer or toaster oven for 2-3 minutes. You can also microwave for 30 seconds if you'd like a softer, more moist waffle. I recommend enjoying your waffles within 2-3 days of baking.
- These waffles freeze really well! Just store them in a gallon-sized freezer bag until you're ready to enjoy. Thaw in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours when ready to use.
- Make sure your waffle iron is preheated before adding the waffle batter. An under-heated waffle iron will result in soggy waffles.
- Only mix your batter until everything is well incorporated. Over-mixed batter will create tough, chewy waffles.
- Keep your waffles extra crispy on the bottom by cooling them on a wire rack. This allows air to circulate under the waffle, letting steam escape instead of getting caught in the waffle itself.
- This makes a great pancake batter as well! You might want to thin it with a little bit of extra milk if you're using it to make pancakes.
