Whether you’re craving breakfast for dessert or dessert for breakfast, these impossibly fluffy red velvet waffles are sure to satisfy. The tangy cream cheese glaze perfectly complements the sweet waffles — drizzle it on top, or dunk the waffles in like donuts. Feel free to add other toppings as well, like chocolate chips, berries, or walnuts.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups oats
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 1/2 cups soymilk or almond milk
• 1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• 3 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 Tablespoons unsweetened natural cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons liquid or 1 teaspoon gel red food coloring (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

1. Blend all ingredients together in a Vitamix blender until smooth.
2. In a preheated waffle iron, bake waffles according to manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Make the glaze while the last waffle cooks. Place 4 ounces cream cheese in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
4. Microwave at 50-percent power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until soft and barely melted, about 1 minute total.
5. Add 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons milk and whisk until smooth.
6. Serve each waffle drizzled with the cream cheese glaze, or dunk the waffles in the glaze like donuts, letting any excess glaze drip off.
