Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, these waffles are bursting with strawberry flavor and are a perfect way to treat mom on Mothers Day! #mothersday #breakfastinbed #strawberrywaffles #waffles frostingandfettuccine.com

Mothers day is less than a week away and good news is I have a complete breakfast menu for you to spoil that lady in your life (AND YOU BETTER).

I think its safe to say that every mom wants breakfast in bed on Mothers Day; and also to not have to clean up those dishes, that mess, those kids. These strawberry waffles take just a couple of things to put together- pair them with some coffee and a Momosa, (you heard me) and you’ve got an easy, delicious, and hopefully mess free breakfast that will make Mom happy.

While testing these waffles I struggled on getting the consistency of crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside right- but Im happy to report that after testing 5 times (!!!) I got it.

The trick is to number one make sure your waffle iron is on the hottest setting. Then to help with the crisp factor, corn starch was added to the dry ingredients. Another thing I kept finding throughout my waffle research was that a lot of recipes had you separating the egg whites and whipping them in a mixer.  Aint nobody got time for that, but I understand the reasoning. I really wanted to cut that step out because who wants to use a mixer for waffles?! So instead I separated the egg and whipped it a little by hand with a whisk just until frothy- maybe 15 seconds and it worked just fine.

Now lets talk about flavor. These are like strawberries waffles to the max. Theres strawberry in the dry ingredients and strawberry in the wet ingredients which equals strawberry waffle heaven! Pair it with some maple syrup, confectioners sugar, or you guessed it- strawberries on top and you’ve got a beautiful breakfast to present to mama.

Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 3 large crispy waffles
Author: Sam Adler

Ingredients

  • 1 cup freeze dried strawberries to be crushed
  • ¾ cup of all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup corn starch
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large egg separated
  • ½ cup strawberry flavored Kefir or other yogurt drink
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted then cooled
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your waffle iron to the highest setting.
  • Pour the freeze dried strawberries into a small ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin, or alternatively if you have a spice grinder, you can pulverize them in there.
  • In a medium sized bowl combine the crushed strawberries, flour, corn starch, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • Separate the egg and set the yolk aside, you’ll need it in a minute. Whisk the egg white in a small bowl for a couple seconds, no need to go crazy just whip till its a little frothy.
  • Add in the yolk, strawberry kefir, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Whisk the wet ingredients, then add them into the dry ingredients.
  • Whisk only until the ingredients are combined, making sure not to overmix. The batter will be lumpy.
  • When the waffle iron is ready, spray it with baking spray or Pam.
  • Ladle the batter into the waffle iron, using a ¼ cup measuring cup- about 3 scoops per waffle, and cook until golden and crispy.
  • Cool on a wire cooling rack, and eat immediately.  

Notes

To ensure the waffles are crispy make sure:
  • the waffle iron is on the highest setting
  • you whisk the egg white slightly till frothy- you can for sure skip this step and just add in the egg but it might alter the crisp factor.

I love when you share my recipes!!

Just a reminder that your work has to suck before Just a reminder that your work has to suck before it can get better. Its super easy to see all these beautiful photos from photographers- the ones who make it seem so easy to do, the ones who’s ideas you wish you had. 

Just remember these people all started somewhere too. Noone woke up with the ability to create scroll stopping images.

They are ALL a result of pushing through that phase where everything you create feels like 💩.

In fact if you have been feeling like that it’s actually a good thing- because you know you want to get better, you know what good taste is and what it isn’t. And eventually you will have it.

So keep going- keep learning, stay curious, pick apart the photos that leave you speechless ad ask yourself why.

You’ll get there if you dont give up 💪🏻

Truth 💣: Manual mode is confusing! If its tak Truth 💣: Manual mode is confusing! 

If its taking you a while and you still do not understand all the settings or WTF aperture, ISO, and shutter speed mean, ITS OK!

It took me a while to really understand each setting and how they all worked together.

But once I got it, it all clicked into place (see what I did there 🤣)

If your struggling with understanding your settings, check out my DSLR bootcamp- a mini course on mastering your DSLR camera so you can finally feel confident behind the lens.

This is the mini course I WISH I had when I first started. The program is super quick and designed to give you a very CLEAR understanding of how each setting works with examples to boot.
