Sweet Summer Strawberry Waffles
Delicious and fluffy waffles topped with fresh strawberries, perfect for a summer breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Waffle Batter Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ¾ cups milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter Choose based on preference
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
- Combine the wet and dry mixtures, stirring gently until just combined (don’t overmix!).
- Fold in the sliced strawberries until evenly distributed.
Cooking
- Spray your waffle iron with cooking spray, then pour the recommended amount of batter onto the iron (usually about ½ cup).
- Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until your waffles are golden brown and crispy.
- Repeat with the remaining batter until done. Serve warm with maple syrup and extra strawberries on top.
Notes
To achieve fluffier waffles, let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. If you like your waffles extra crispy, bake them in the oven at 200°F (93°C) while cooking the rest.
