red velvet muffins
dessert meets breakfast with these red velvet muffins, just perfect for Valentine’s Day
It seems that you either love red velvet, or you don’t. I am firmly in the LOVE category. I didn’t think the kids were with me, so I never make red velvet cake. Last time I made a cake, I was forced to eat the entire thing by myself.
Last week when I made red velvet mug cookies the kids couldn’t get enough. They spent the better part of the weekend microwaving mugs one after the next. Turns out that with red velvet cake, it’s the frosting they don’t like.
Crazy right. I LOVE cream cheese frosting. I could eat cream cheese frosting all by itself.
But that means I can make red velvet as long as there isn’t any frosting involved, and with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I plan on getting my fill of red velvet, starting with these muffins.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt

- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 Tbsp red food coloring

- whisk together buttermilk, butter, vanilla, and red food coloring, and add to the flour, stirring only until combined

For two kids that thought they didn’t like red velvet, they are eating these red velvet muffins two at a time.
enjoy!

Love red velvet, Heather. And for breakfast. Feels naughty. But that’s ok. These must be so tender with the buttermilk. I want to make these for my guys for Valentine’s Day breakfast!

I love red velvet recipes. There’s just something about red velvet that instantly puts a smile on my face. These muffins are not only adorable but would be perfect for breakfast. I could use something fun to get me to eat in the morning. Not a big morning person.
