- And what better way to show your love first thing in the morning with a special breakfast?
So let’s get started!
How to make these delicious waffles?
For this recipe, I used an organic Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle mix. It saved me some time from measuring all the dry ingredients. Then I added in only a handful of mashed strawberries along with 1 tablespoon of semi-sweet mini chocolate chips, one egg, and some milk.
Ingredients Needed to Make Strawberry Waffles…
- Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix – I used Whole Foods, 365 brands
- Egg
- Whole milk ( or almond milk)
- Vanilla extract
- Oil
- Semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
- Fresh strawberries
- Cooking spray – to spray your waffle iron with.
Easy Directions to Make Waffles… (*full recipe card below!)
First: Prep the Strawberries: simply mash a few strawberries with a fork and stir them into the batter.
1. Turn on your waffle iron, set the setting to medium-high, and spray lightly with cooking spray. Then pour about 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of the batter (depending on the size you prefer) and close the lid.
2. Then wait for your waffle iron to beep or ring. Waffles should be cooked until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Serve these strawberry chocolate chip waffles with sliced strawberries on top along with a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips.
So yummy!
Try to give it your own flair! Personalize your waffles with your Valentine’s favorite toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, Nutella, peanut butter, strawberry jam, and maybe a little chocolate heart next to it! Make it special!!
ENJOY!!

Strawberry Chocolate Chip Waffles
Light and fluffy, these Strawberry Chocolate Chip Waffles make the perfect breakfast for your loved ones! Filled with fresh strawberries and mini chocolate chips, these strawberry chocolate chip waffles are effortless to make. Best of all, they're sweet and chocolatey delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 cup organic Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix ( I used Whole Foods, 365 brands)
- 1 whole egg
- 1/2 cup whole milk ( or almond milk)
- 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tsp. oil
- 2 Tbsp. semi-sweet mini chocolate chips - divided
- 5 to 8 fresh strawberries- hulled
- cooking spray for waffle iron
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high, and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, lightly mix buttermilk pancake/waffle mix, egg, vanilla extract, milk, and oil. Do not over-mix. Set it aside.
- Using a fork, mash 4 to 5 strawberries and toss them into the batter, including the juice. Here is where you can adjust and add in more strawberries if you like, but the consistency will change, and may need to be adjusted, adding in a little more buttermilk pancake mix into the batter.
- Then toss in one tablespoon of mini chocolate chips and give it stir to combine into the batter. Set it aside for a minute or two.
- When the waffle iron is ready, use a small ladle or a large spoon to pour some batter (about 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup) into the waffle iron and close the top, depending on the size desired.
- Wait for it to ring, or for the light to pop up for your attention that the waffle is ready!
- Remove and transfer to a serving plate. Then again, lightly spray with cooking spray the waffle iron each time you make a waffle, to prevent it from sticking.
- Top each waffle with sliced strawberries and sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips. Serve immediately. You can also serve with whipped cream and your favorite maple syrup.
- Serves 3 to 4 waffles
Notes
Juicy strawberries can make these waffles a little soggy if they are under cooked. So make sure you cook them to a golden crispy texture.
Also, keep in mind, If you decide to add in more strawberries into the batter, making the batter a little more thinner, add in some more pancake mix to get the right consistency.
