Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour (Can substitute with whole wheat flour)
- 2 tablespoons Sugar (Can substitute with honey or maple syrup)
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Milk (Almond milk or oat milk for non-dairy option)
- 2 large Eggs (Use flaxseed eggs for vegan option)
- 1/2 cup Melted Butter (Can use olive oil)
- 1 cup Fresh Strawberries (Frozen strawberries must be thawed and drained, then pureed)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Optional but recommended)
Toppings
- 1 cup Whipped Cream
- 1/2 cup Strawberry Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar (For dusting)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, pureed strawberries, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined; a few lumps are fine to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with non-stick spray to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Cook Waffles: Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes depending on your appliance.
- Serve: Remove the waffles from the iron and stack them on a plate. Top generously with reserved strawberry puree, whipped cream, strawberry sauce, and finish with a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flaxseed eggs and use plant-based milk and butter alternatives.
- Frozen strawberries can be used but must be fully thawed and drained to avoid excess water in the batter.
- Adjust sweetness by substituting sugar with honey or maple syrup as preferred.
- Ensure your waffle iron is properly preheated to achieve a crispy exterior and fluffy interior.
- Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster for a quick breakfast.
