Skip your local diner and make these strawberry waffles at home for a leisurely weekend treat that will please both the kids and adults in your life.
I think I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve taken my kids out to breakfast. We tend to not venture out to a restaurant for breakfast because who wants to get up early on a weekend? In my town, a lot of the breakfast spots also have long lines on the weekends. We typically skip the local waffle house and instead make these amazing strawberry waffles at home.
How to make strawberry waffles
This recipe starts with a basic homemade waffle batter that’s lightly flavored with vanilla. This is my go-to waffle recipe that I’ve been making for years and it never lets me down. You can even freeze any leftover waffles for up to 2 months!
While the waffles are cooking away in the waffle iron, I whip up a simple strawberry sauce. I really recommend using fresh strawberries here as they’re much sweeter than frozen strawberries and they don’t release as much liquid when they cook, which leaves you with a thicker sauce. If you absolutely have to use to use frozen strawberries, you may need to add more sugar to the sauce and double the amount of cornstarch. You can either quarter or halve your berries depending on how large they are.
The final step is to pour all of those beautiful berries over the waffles and serve! Whipped cream is a must here to make you really feel like you’re at a restaurant.
Not a strawberry fan or can’t find any fresh ones? You can also top these waffles with raspberry sauce for a fun treat.
