Step-by-step Guide:
Prepare the Waffle Batter:
1 – In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2 – In another bowl, combine the egg, almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
3 – Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
4 – Divide the batter into separate bowls based on the number of colors you want to make. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix until the desired color is achieved.
Cook the Waffles:
1 – Preheat your waffle maker according to its instructions.
2 – Lightly grease the waffle maker if necessary.
3 – For each waffle, pour a small amount of batter onto the hot waffle maker.
4 – Close the waffle maker and cook until golden brown (about 3-5 minutes, depending on your maker). Insert a stick while the batter is not fully cooked to ensure it is solid.
Make the Glaze:
1 – In a bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and milk. Adjust the milk for your desired consistency.
2 – Divide the glaze into two small bowls. Add pink food coloring to one, and leave the other one plain.
Prepare the Chocolate Dip:
1 – In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips.
2 – Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until you have a smooth mixture.
Assemble the Waffles:
1 – Dip the top of each waffle lollipop into the chocolate dip, allowing any excess to drip off.
2 – Immediately drizzle or dip in the colored glaze, and top with sprinkles if desired. Use a spoon to drizzle pink and white glaze onto the waffles, have fun and create different designs!
3 – Arrange the waffle lollipops upright in a container or on a platter for a decorative presentation. Enjoy your colorful and delicious spring treat!
