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
Fresh strawberries for serving

Instructions

Preheat Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it is properly hot for cooking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to blend evenly.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, pureed strawberries, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Make Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter should still be slightly lumpy to ensure waffles remain light and fluffy.
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 the waffles are golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
Serve: Remove the waffles carefully and serve warm, topped with reserved fresh strawberries and whipped cream if desired for extra flavor and presentation.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor in the puree.
Do not over-mix the batter to keep waffles tender and fluffy.
Adjust the batter quantity based on your waffle iron size for even cooking.
For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
Waffles can be kept warm in a low oven if making multiple batches.
