No need to draft a guest list, send out invitations, or stress over all of the impossibly perfect Pinterest ideas that make your thoughtfully planned soiree look like a low-budget PTA trivia night. Instead, throw some waffles on the iron, layer them with fresh juicy strawberries, and smother the whole shebang in fluffy maple whipped cream. These strawberry shortcake waffles take less than half an hour to put together and are perfect for a whole host of occasions such as:
Birthday breakfast (with a hefty serving of this Healthy Breakfast Casserole)Easter morning (served with this awesome Goat Cheese Quiche) Mother’s Day brunch (alongside some Oven Baked Bacon)OR a special wedding anniversary breakfast in bed (paired with this Strawberry Champagne)
How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Waffles
This dreamy breakfast is inspired by one of my all-time favorite summer foods: strawberry shortcake. Made with my favorite Whole Wheat Waffles recipe as our “cake”, everything is mixed right in your blender for easy prep and clean-up. They’re easy, elegant, and oh-so-delicious.
Ingredients
Whole Wheat Waffles. My favorite way to make this recipe is with my go-to Blender Whole Wheat Waffles that are airy on the inside and crisp on the outside. Made with just a few simple ingredients, they keep this impressive breakfast easy and accessible.Strawberries. Ripe, juicy, and packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, strawberries and waffles are a match made in heaven.Whipping Cream. You can’t have a shortcake-inspired waffle feast without freshly made whipped cream.Maple Syrup. I love how just a dash of maple syrup mixed into whipped cream (like in my similarly festive Strawberry Crepes) elevates the this fluffy topping to a whole new level.
