Healthy Strawberry Waffles
Healthy Strawberry Waffles made with no dyes and served with fresh berries. This breakfast will be a new family favorite for Valentine’s Day and all summer long!
Valentine’s Day Breakfast for Kids
Valentine’s Day is so much fun as a kid! You get to spend part of the school day swapping cards and treats with your friends instead of doing extra math. You can decorate Valentine boxes, cut out pink and purple hearts, and dress up in everything pink! Well, maybe the boys don’t like dressing up in pink as much as I did/do.
Strawberry Waffles with No Dyes
Most of the strawberry waffles you’ll find on pinterest are bright red or pink because they have a lot of dyes in them! But you don’t need that! Just use fresh or frozen berries pureed in a blender and then serve your waffles with fresh berries to bring out that red color! Plus, if you serve them with a dollop of whipped cream they won’t be around long enough for anyone to even tell they aren’t bright red!
Just a little whipped cream goes a long way and wow! This was so delicious! I ate every bite with a slice of berry, a little waffle and some cream! I could barely wait to finish taking photos so that I could finally eat a plate. Also, mom’s dream come true: These taste incredible even when they’re cooled! So no worrying about keeping them warm in the oven!
Every waffle iron is different because of the maker, the size of the waffle, the design… lots of reasons. So get to know your waffle iron! Because of the strawberries in the recipe, these waffles don’t turn out crisp but if you cook them too long they’ll get too brown! These waffles are light and fluffy and perfect for any meal… even dinner!
Breakfast for dinner is a favorite of mine, and these Fruit & Veggie Pancakes look like tomorrow’s dinner for me!

These look great! Are these freezable? I like to plan ahead and have things on hand for the week. Thanks!
I love these waffles. We soak frozen strawberries in hot water and drain. We make them gluten free as well by substituting a 1 to 1 gf flour for 1 cup and a garbanzo bean flour bllend for the other cup. Delish!
Thanks for sharing! So glad you love them!
