I took a little bit of extra time this week to make myself some breakfast and I was not disappointed. I found the idea for these Strawberry Waffles and they were the perfect little bit of summer sweet strawberry to wake up to. I made sure that these waffles were from scratch too. And while they do take a few extra steps to make, they are definitely worth it!

The texture of these waffles is a bit more dense due to all the real strawberry goodness in there. It’s sort of on par with how banana bread is more dense and moist than a standard white bread due to the additional moisture from the fruit. But don’t worry, they still end up crisp on the outside and spongy on the inside!

These Strawberry Waffles can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge or freezer to reheat, but they definitely do a lot better on the day of. Again, it’s due to the high moisture content. Now, that isn’t to say that a quick pop in the toaster won’t do them justice, but they will better fresh.

I topped mine off with strawberry syrup, fresh strawberries, and a little bit of whipped cream. Honestly, you could probably follow this same method with just about any berry, but strawberries were the name of the game today.
