Instructions

1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, vegetable oil, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and green food coloring until well combined and the color is uniform.
3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes while your waffle iron preheats.
4
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease if necessary. Pour about ½ cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron (or as much as recommended for your specific iron) and cook until golden brown and cooked through, typically 3-5 minutes depending on your iron.
5
While the waffles cook, prepare the cream cheese glaze: In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until creamy. Stir in 2-3 tablespoons of milk and ½ tsp vanilla extract until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency. Add more milk if needed.
6
Serve the warm green velvet waffles immediately, drizzled generously with the cream cheese glaze. Garnish with fresh berries if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these waffles ahead of time?

You can cook the waffles ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat them in a toaster or oven to restore crispness. The glaze can also be made ahead and stored in the fridge, then gently warmed or brought to room temperature before serving.

How can I store leftover waffles?

Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. Reheat in a toaster or oven.

Is the green food coloring necessary?

No, the green food coloring is optional and purely for aesthetic appeal, especially for festive occasions like St. Patrick's Day. The waffles will taste just as delicious without it, resembling a lighter chocolate waffle.
