The only thing better than homemade crispy waffles is homemade strawberry waffles! Deliciously sweet strawberries are folded into the batter to make an incredible breakfast that the whole family will love.
This recipe uses chopped fresh strawberries. To make them extra (pssst, you want to be extra in this case), top them with Strawberry Syrup, Strawberry Puree, Frozen Strawberries in Syrup, or Sugared Strawberries.
How to Freeze Waffles
Double or triple the recipe and freeze extras for fast make-ahead breakfasts. First, allow the waffles to fully cool on a baking rack. Transfer waffles to a freezer bag and store for up to three months. To reheat, toast waffles in a toaster oven or an air fryer at 350 F for 3 minutes.
Pro Tips/Recipe Notes
- This recipe used whole milk but also works wonderfully with buttermilk.
- I’m a huge fan of freezing strawberries, but this recipe is best made with fresh berries.
- If you want to use whole wheat flour, follow the base recipe in this Whole Wheat Waffle recipe.
- If your waffle maker does not have an indicator light to let you know when they are ready, most waffles will be done when steam no longer escapes from the side of the waffle maker.

I made a halved version of these waffles last week because I had a small volume of buttermilk to use up and a new box of strawberries. They were gone before they had even cooled down enough to not burn the roofs of our mouths. I made them again this week because we all wanted more. And it won’t be long before I make them again. Do they freeze well? Couldn’t tell you. Two adults and one 8 year finished off everything over the course of a long, lazy morning.
I haven’t thought about these waffles in a few months but dang, now I want them!
So glad you enjoyed them. 🙂 And thanks for taking the time to leave a review!
