These fluffy strawberry waffles topped with creamy whipped cream are quick, easy, and perfect for a special breakfast or brunch. The batter includes fresh strawberries folded in for bursts of juicy flavor, paired with a light whipped cream topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240 g)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (25 g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, separated (room temperature)
  • 1¾ cups whole milk (420 ml)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (113 g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped (150 g)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled (240 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (15 g)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Separate the eggs, placing yolks in one bowl and whites in another, ensuring no yolk in the whites.
  4. To the egg yolks, add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract; whisk until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
  7. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in three additions using a rubber spatula.
  8. Fold in the chopped fresh strawberries gently to distribute evenly.
  9. Lightly grease the waffle iron if needed. Pour about ½ cup of batter onto the center of the iron, close the lid, and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  10. While waffles cook, chill a mixing bowl and beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  11. Serve waffles immediately, topped with a generous spoonful of whipped cream and extra fresh strawberries. Optionally, drizzle with maple syrup.

Notes

If batter is too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Brush waffle iron with melted butter or use non-stick spray if waffles stick. Whip egg whites to soft peaks for fluffiness and fold gently to keep batter airy. Chill bowl and beaters for fluffier whipped cream. Cooking time may vary depending on waffle iron; adjust accordingly.
