Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed (reserve some for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

  • Whipped cream for serving
  • Additional fresh strawberries for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it’s ready for cooking the batter evenly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir thoroughly to blend all the dry ingredients evenly.
  3. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, pureed fresh strawberries, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should remain slightly lumpy; avoid overmixing to keep waffles tender.
  5. Prepare Waffle Iron: Lightly spray the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  6. Cook Waffles: Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the hot waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until waffles turn golden brown. This usually takes about 4-5 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
  7. Serve: Remove the waffles carefully and serve warm. Top with reserved fresh strawberries and whipped cream if desired for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; some lumps are okay to maintain waffle fluffiness.
  • Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor in the puree.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your waffle iron performance and preference for crispiness.
  • Waffles can be kept warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while cooking the rest.
  • Feel free to substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
