Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¼ cup sugar, 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg. Whisk until well combined.
-
Step 2.
Add 1½ cups buttermilk, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs to the dry ingredients. Whisk until well combined.
-
Step 3.
Add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons red food coloring, and 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar. Whisk the batter until smooth.
-
Step 4.
Preheat a waffle iron until hot. Spray the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Step 5.
Pour about ½ cup of the batter (or according to your waffle iron's instructions) onto the hot waffle iron. Cook until the outer edges are nice and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Many waffle irons have a light that indicates when the waffle is done.
-
Step 6.
Transfer the cooked waffles to a wire rack to cool for about a minute. Repeat with the remaining batter, spraying the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray between batches as needed.

Step 7.
Serve the waffles with desired toppings, such as Southern Fried Cinnamon Apples, fresh fruit and whipped cream, or pure maple syrup.
