Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups (210g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (30g) cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons (8g) baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk or non-dairy milk
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (55g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pound (450g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, for strawberries)
  • 6 ounces (170g) semisweet or dark chocolate, chopped or chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or neutral oil (optional, for chocolate)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
  • Extra strawberries, whole or halved (optional)
  • Chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash, hull, and slice all strawberries. If not sweet, toss with 1 tablespoon sugar and let sit for 10 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Preheat the waffle iron to medium-high heat.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined; batter should be slightly lumpy.
  6. Grease the waffle iron if needed. Pour 1/2 to 2/3 cup batter into the hot iron and cook for 4-5 minutes, until golden and crisp.
  7. Place cooked waffles on a cooling rack or parchment-lined tray. Once cool enough, cut each waffle into quarters or sixths. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  8. Melt chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. (Or use a double boiler.)
  9. Dip half of each waffle wedge into melted chocolate, let excess drip off, and lay on parchment paper. For a thicker shell, chill and dip again.
  10. Once chocolate sets (about 10 minutes in the fridge), assemble stacks by layering waffle wedges with sliced strawberries in between. Three layers is ideal.
  11. Dust with powdered sugar and add extra strawberries, nuts, coconut, or sprinkles as desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes for fluffier waffles. Cool waffles on a rack for maximum crispiness. Double-dip the chocolate for a thicker shell. For gluten-free or dairy-free, use appropriate substitutes. Assemble just before serving for best texture.
