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
- Fresh strawberries for topping
- Preheat the waffle iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together to evenly distribute all the leavening agents and sugar.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, pureed strawberries, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently just until combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy to keep waffles light and fluffy.
- Cook the waffles: Spray the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Close and cook until the waffles turn golden brown, which usually takes about 4-5 minutes.
- Serve: Remove waffles carefully and serve warm, topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream if desired for an extra touch of sweetness and texture.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; some lumps are desirable for fluffier waffles.
- Puree strawberries can be strained for a smoother batter if preferred.
- Make sure the waffle iron is properly preheated to avoid sticking.
- Adjust cooking time slightly according to your waffle iron model for the best results.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and butter with coconut oil.
