  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron following the manufacturer’s instructions for best results.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, strawberry puree, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined; batter should remain slightly lumpy to avoid overmixing.
  5. Lightly coat the preheated waffle iron with non-stick spray or brush with oil.
  6. Pour the recommended amount of batter into the waffle iron plates.
  7. Close the waffle iron and cook for about 4–5 minutes until golden brown and crisp, checking a minute early to prevent overcooking.

Notes

Always use fresh strawberries for best flavor and color., Adjust sugar quantity to taste for preferred sweetness., Mix batter gently to maintain light and fluffy texture., Check waffles early during cooking to avoid overcooking and dryness., Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained well before pureeing.
