Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (120g) (or Greek yogurt)
  • 3/4 cup whole milk (180ml) (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113g), melted and slightly cooled (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (150g), diced small (or thawed/drained frozen strawberries)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (175g) (or dairy-free chocolate)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • Sprinkles (optional)
  • Extra diced strawberries (optional)
  • Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle iron to medium-high and let it heat for at least 5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until no lumps remain.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sour cream, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in diced strawberries with a spatula.
  6. Lightly coat the waffle iron with non-stick spray or melted butter.
  7. Scoop about 1/2 cup batter onto the waffle iron for each waffle. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Remove waffles and place on a cooling rack. Repeat with remaining batter.
  9. In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
  10. Once waffles are cool enough to handle, dip one side into the melted chocolate. Let excess drip off and set on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  11. Add sprinkles, extra strawberries, or whipped cream if desired.
  12. Let dipped waffles rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes, or refrigerate for 5 minutes until the chocolate sets.
  13. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For best results, do not overmix the batter. Dry strawberries well before folding in to avoid excess moisture. Let waffles cool slightly before dipping in chocolate for best coating. Waffles can be made ahead and dipped in chocolate before serving. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. For vegan, use flax eggs, dairy-free butter, and coconut yogurt.
