So, I bought my first ever waffle iron and it’s true what people say “waffle irons are the stuff dreams are made of”. Mine is from Rosenstein und Söhne on Amazon and it came in three days. I made some classic plain waffles to start with, but then my boyfriend insisted on adding berries into the batter. I was all like “no… ” for no real reason. Just because when it comes to baking and cooking I am a complete control freak. Anyway, after much bickering, the berries were added and it was amaaazing! These are some seriously delicious and seriously easy berry waffles.
Look how amazing they look! They are like pieces of art and if you have some sweet waffle batter, then the berries counter that with their tangyness and make the waffles really juicy!
We are seriously considering opening a Waffle stand – it would be sooo cool! And easy to do – people love waffles. Maybe getting a bit ahead of myself, but still! Savory and sweet waffles. I guess you would need more than one waffle iron.
I personally think the best topping for these berry waffles is nutella, peanut butter and berries, which some icing sugar on top.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is cocoa powder in a berry waffle batter?
The recipe calls for 30g of cocoa powder mixed directly into the flour base, giving the waffles a chocolatey depth that contrasts with the tangy berries. The author describes the combination as “amaaazing” after initially resisting the idea — the cocoa makes the sweet batter more complex.
Can I use fresh berries instead of frozen?
Yes — the notes say fresh berries can be substituted for the 4 tbsp of frozen berries. Frozen berries are used in the batter primarily for convenience; fresh will work just as well folded in before cooking.
Made these and they are delicious. They were a great hit with my family. Next time I will add a little cinnamon and vanilla extract to them.
Sounds like a great plan Ada!
Looks great, going to surprise the granddaughters with this. Thanks…de…X
