It perfectly complements the natural sweetness of berries and the velvety smoothness of whipped cream. This tempting combination is simply impossible to resist and incredibly difficult to stop indulging in.

So, what is the trick to making it truly special? Take your time. Allow enough time for the mixture to become light and fluffy, and for the berries to soak in their flavors. That’s what takes a good breakfast to the next level. Okay, now we can start by getting your waffle iron ready. In fact, starting the day with a plate of delicious Belgian Waffles is truly an incredible way to start off the day.

For the Toppings:

2 cups fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or a mix)
1 tablespoon sugar (optional, to sprinkle on the berries)
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and applesauce until well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just blended. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

2. Cook the Waffles:

Preheat your Belgian waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with butter or cooking spray.
Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, spreading it to the edges. Cook according to the waffle iron’s instructions or until the waffles are golden and crisp.
Remove the waffles carefully and keep them warm. Continue with the remaining batter.

3. Prepare the Toppings:

Berries: If you like, sprinkle the tablespoon of sugar over the fresh berries and toss them gently. This step is optional but can help draw out the juices from the berries, creating a delightful syrup.
Whipped Cream: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream (or coconut cream) with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overbeat.

4. Serve:

Serve the warm waffles with a generous helping of fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream on top. For an extra touch, you can drizzle with maple syrup or sprinkle with powdered sugar.

This vegetarian (and easily adaptable to vegan) version of Belgian waffles with fresh berries and whipped cream is sure to be a hit, providing a delightful treat that everyone can enjoy!
