How to make a refreshing strawberry waffle for 1.
It’s Waffle of the Month time!
Last month’s waffle of the month was Mint Chocolate Chip Waffle Sandwich. This month, I wanted to go with something light and refreshing using my favorite fruit – strawberries!
The hand towel is my Volume One Hand Towel, and I have a free crochet pattern on my sister blog, EyeLoveKnots, if you’re interested.
I experimented with this recipe a bit.
First I tried 1/4 cup of strawberries, 6 tablespoons of milk and 1/2 cup of waffle mix (with all the other ingredients mentioned as is). This quantity of milk and waffle mix is what I normally use when I make my waffles, but the strawberries add more moisture so the finished waffle wasn’t as crisp. Also, the strawberry flavor was subtle, and I wanted to really taste them. AND, it made more mix than I needed.
I modified that recipe in attempt to add more strawberry flavor, and take away some of the moisture and quantity of mixture. This modification included using 1/2 cup of strawberries, 5 tablespoons of milk and 1/3 cup of waffle mix (with all the other ingredients mentioned as is. This one was a winner! The strawberry flavor was just what I wanted, the waffle came out crisper though a little darker in color, and it made less mixture though still a bit more than I needed, but I’m happy with this light, delicious waffle!
If you like a little something extra in your waffle, you can mix in 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips, and/or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Makes:
1 Waffle
Time Required:
15 Minutes
- Mix Waffle Ingredients (5 Minutes)
- Rest Waffle Mix (5 Minutes)
- Cook Waffle (3 Minutes)
Waffle Ingredients – Makes 1:
- 1/3 – 1/2 Cup of Waffle Mix – I like Aunt Jemima
- 1/2 Tbsp Butter or Oil – I use Country Crock’s Plant Butter
- 5 Tbsp of Milk – I use lactose free 2%
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 – 1/2 Cup of Strawberries – that’s 4 – 6
- 2 Tsp of Honey – I use Clover Honey
You’ll Also Need:
- Mixing Bowl
- Spoon/Spatula for Mixing Ingredients
- Measuring Cup and Spoons
- Blender
- Pam, or Butter and Flour for Cooking
- Waffle Maker
Ingredient Notes:
- WAFFLE MIX: I sometimes use Hungry Jack, but I think Aunt Jemima makes a fluffier waffle.
- EGG: If you make more than 1 waffle, use 1 egg per 2 waffles.
- SUGGESTED ADD-INS: 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips and/or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- BLENDER: I wanted the strawberry flavor infused rather than sliced and mixed in so I blended them. You can also mash them instead.
Recipe:
Step 1: Add the waffle mix to a mixing bowl, and set aside.
Step 2: Blend the wet ingredients together – that’s the strawberries, honey, egg, butter and milk. If you choose to add in vanilla extract, do so now.
Step 3: Pour the wet mixture into the mixing bowl with the waffle mix, and stir until combined until it’s no longer lumpy.
Step 4: If you choose to add in chocolate chips, mix in now.
Step 5: Let batter rest for about 5 minutes.
Step 6: Plug in waffle maker, spray with Pam, and when ready, cook waffle for about 3 minutes.

Ooooooo….these look delicious! Crispy waffles is a must!
Alexandra says
Definitely! I need to get myself a new waffle maker – mine doesn’t do crispy like it used to. Any recommendations?
Joanne says
That sounds and looks delicious!
Alexandra says
Ah it was! So much so that I had it two afternoons in a row!
Laura Bambrick says
I love the idea of adding honey. This looks and sounds so delicious!
Alexandra says
The honey was a perfect addition! I feel like it really added to the lightness of the waffle.
Natalie says
OMG I want a waffle maker so bad. I would make me waffles every day. I love waffles.
Alexandra says
Get one! Definitely! I still do store bought frozen waffles when I’m in a rush or feeling lazy, but nothing beats a homemade waffle.
Donna @ Modern on Monticello says
Not only a delicious waffle recipe but you dressed it up so pretty on the plate. So glad you visited with us this week. #HomeMattersParty

Terry Crylen says
I can feel the weight gain already just looking at it. Yum!
Alexandra says
Haha! You can feel a little less guilty about this one with the strawberries and honey, but I know what you mean.
