When it comes to fancy shmancy breakfasts, I have to admit:  I don’t really love to make them myself.  I know how to of course, but doing all that first thing in the morning?  No thanks.

I’d much rather someone else make them for me.  Someone like IHOP or the Pancake House.

Or my mom.

Or my husband.

But not me.

So this morning when I woke up craving strawberry waffles I was a little shocked.  Even more shocked when I went downstairs and set up shop in the kitchen to actually make said waffles.  I don’t even know who I am anymore…

HEALTHY STRAWBERRY WAFFLES

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup spelt flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup milk (I used nonfat cow’s milk, but any would do)
  • 1 6-oz container Greek yogurt (I used Chobani Strawberry)
  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Basically you whisk together the eggs, milk, sour cream, yogurt, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is free of lumps.  Dump in the baking soda, baking powder, flour, and salt, and whisk until combined and there are no more lumps.  I like to pour the mixture into a measuring cup for easy pouring, but you can also use a measuring cup as well.  Spray a hot waffle iron with nonstick spray.  Pour just under 1/3 of a cup of the batter in the center, close the lid, and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.  Repeat until the batter is all gone.

Now this is where my true breakfast-making colors shine through…I stopped at 5 waffles.  That was about 1/3 of the batter.  I’m saving the rest in the fridge for breakfast tomorrow (or at least until tonight so I can freeze the waffles and just reheat when necessary in the oven).

So now you might be wondering what one would top healthy strawberry waffles with, right?  I mean, it’s not like you can just go all out with the butter and syrup can you?

Yes, yes you certainly can.

Or you could smear it with peanut butter and homemade jam.  Or top with more yogurt and fresh berries!

Or you can make a huge batch of the fresh berry puree that I make for the cake this weekend and pour that ALL OVER the waffles.

You can even top it with melted butter first like I did.

Hey, the butter is still healthy.

Healthy because it makes you smile 🙂

    I love waffles so much. Those look delicious! I wish I had a waffle maker. I seriously need to invest in some standard kitchen equipment. I can’t continue to read food blogs and not have the proper things to make all of these fabulous recipes.

    Ha, I love your loyalty to butter 😉

    Totally with you on the elaborate breakfast attitude. I’m all about simplicity – and would much rather do a fancy breakfast-for-dinner if I’m Reeeally craving the waffle or pancake.

    I’m like you in the morning…the most cooking I do involves a bowl of instant oatmeal in the microwave.
    Although, last weekend I got a similar craving and made strawberry pannekoeken! Can’t go wrong with butter and berries 🙂

    Yummmmm. I love waffles but don’t feel like going out and buying a waffle maker. Not sure if I agree with the last statement though. Plenty of unhealthy things have made me smile also. 😀

    I can totally relate. I really wanted those pumpkin maple pancakes this weekend, but I wanted someone else to come over and make them for me. But, I still wanted to watch….I think I’m regressing to age 8!

    Waffle making always seems like more work to me too so I end up making pancakes instead a lot of the time. Truth is – its probably less work. Other than heating the waffle maker you don’t have to keep an eye on them as closely.

    This, I think, is the sole reason I need a bigger kitchen. To fit a waffle maker. I crave these on weekends. Yum.

    How yummy!! Great breakfast, chica 🙂

    Sorry we missed each other this weekend! The race was great 🙂 A bit early for my typical Sunday morning, but still fantastic needless to say. Maybe I’ll catch you on another Boulder weekend or at the Bolder Boulder??

    Take care!
