Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tsp vinegar to sour it)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- Cooking spray or additional butter for the waffle iron
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
- In a separate bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries into the cheesecake mixture.
- Pour a portion of the waffle batter into the preheated waffle iron, enough to cover the bottom.
- Spoon a dollop of the cheesecake filling over the batter, ensuring it stays in the center.
- Pour another layer of waffle batter over the cheesecake filling.
- Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove the waffles and let them cool slightly on a wire rack while you repeat the process with the remaining batter and filling.
- Slice the waffles if desired and serve warm, drizzled with syrup or whipped cream for an extra treat.
Notes
- For an extra flavor boost, try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients.
- These waffles can be made ahead of time and reheated in a toaster for convenience.
- Feel free to substitute the strawberries with any other berry of your choice, like blueberries or raspberries.
