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
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it’s ready for cooking the batter evenly.
- 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.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, pureed fresh strawberries, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- 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.
- Prepare Waffle Iron: Lightly spray the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- 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.
- 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.
