Why You’ll Love This Recipe

These waffles are a delicious way to start your day, combining the classic appeal of fluffy waffles with the bright, fruity flavor of strawberries. They are perfect for a cozy family breakfast or a fancy brunch gathering.

  • Fluffy texture: Light and airy waffles that melt in your mouth.
  • Fresh ingredients: Made with real strawberries for an authentic taste.
  • Quick and easy: Simple steps make it a breeze to prepare.
  • Customizable: Top with your favorite fruits or syrups.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ¾ cups milk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

How to Make Strawberry Waffles with Whipped Cream

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix. Some lumps are okay!
  4. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a brush of melted butter.
  5. Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, using about ¾ cup for each waffle (adjust based on your waffle iron size). Close the lid and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  6. While the waffles are cooking, prepare the whipped cream. In a medium bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  7. Once the waffles are cooked, stack them on plates, top with sliced strawberries, and a generous dollop of whipped cream. Serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

  • For extra fluffy waffles, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and fold them into the batter just before cooking.
  • Ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated for even cooking.
  • Let the waffles rest for a minute before serving to maintain crispiness.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute strawberries with blueberries, raspberries, or a mix of your favorite berries for a different flavor profile.
  • Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter for a refreshing twist.
  • Drizzle with maple syrup or chocolate sauce for an indulgent treat.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast.
  • A fresh fruit salad to brighten up the plate.
  • A cup of freshly brewed coffee or a refreshing mimosa.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in a toaster or an oven set to 350°F (175°C) until warmed through and crispy.
