<h3>Ingredients:</h3>

<b>For the Waffles:</b>

- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

- 2 tablespoons sugar

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- ½ teaspoon baking soda

- ¼ teaspoon salt

- 1 cup milk (or any milk alternative)

- 1 large egg

- 4 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for greasing)

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- ¾ cup fresh strawberries, chopped

<b>For Topping:</b>

- Fresh strawberries, sliced

- Whipped cream or Greek yogurt

- Maple syrup or powdered sugar (optional)

<h3>Directions:</h3>

<b>Preheat the Waffle Iron:</b> Start by preheating your waffle iron to the desired setting. Lightly grease it with melted butter or non-stick spray.

<b>Mix Dry Ingredients:</b>Mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a big bowl with a whisk until well blended.This step ensures the waffles rise evenly and have a light, fluffy texture.

<b>Combine Wet Ingredients:</b> In another bowl, beat the egg, then add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

<b>Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients:</b> Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the waffles tender.

<b>Add the Strawberries:</b> Fold in the chopped strawberries gently, so they’re evenly distributed in the batter. Adding fresh strawberries gives the waffles a burst of natural sweetness and color.

<b>Cook the Waffles:</b> Evenly distribute the batter after pouring it into the waffle iron that has been warmed. Cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions, typically around 3-5 minutes, until the waffles are golden and crispy on the edges.

<b>Serve and Enjoy:</b> Once the waffles are ready, top them with sliced strawberries, a dollop of whipped cream or Greek yogurt, and a drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
