Light, airy heart-shaped waffles made with buttermilk and fresh berries, perfect for a special breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1½ cups (360 ml) buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, separated, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting or maple syrup for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your heart-shaped waffle iron for 5-7 minutes and lightly grease the plates with melted butter or a non-stick spray safe for waffle irons.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: sifted all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. In another bowl, beat egg yolks, then whisk in buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined; the batter should be lumpy but without large flour streaks.
  5. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites to soft peaks using an electric mixer or hand whisk.
  6. Fold the beaten egg whites carefully into the batter using a rubber spatula to keep the batter airy.
  7. Pour about ½ cup (120 ml) of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading slightly to fill the molds without overflow.
  8. Close the waffle iron and cook for 3-5 minutes until waffles are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
  9. Carefully remove waffles and place on a cooling rack to maintain crispness. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the iron as needed.
  10. Serve warm topped with fresh berries, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup if desired.

Notes

For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, replace buttermilk with almond or oat milk mixed with lemon juice. Beat egg whites to soft peaks and fold gently to keep waffles fluffy. Preheat and grease waffle iron well to avoid sticking. Serve immediately for best texture or keep warm in a 200°F oven.
