Fluffy heart-shaped waffles served with fresh berries and powdered sugar for a sweet breakfast treat.
# What You Need:
→ Waffle Batter
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 2 large eggs
06 - 1 3/4 cups milk
07 - 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted (plus more for greasing)
08 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Topping
09 - 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
10 - 1 cup blueberries
11 - 1 cup raspberries
12 - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, for dusting
13 - 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey (optional)
14 - Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat your heart-shaped waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease with melted butter or nonstick spray.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly combined.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix—a few small lumps are acceptable.
05 - Pour batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using approximately 1/2 cup per waffle, or according to your iron's instructions. Close and cook until golden and crisp, 3–5 minutes per batch.
06 - Remove cooked waffles and place in a warm oven or under a clean towel to maintain temperature. Repeat with remaining batter.
07 - Arrange waffles on serving plates. Top with mixed berries, dust generously with powdered sugar, and drizzle with maple syrup or honey if desired. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
