Strawberry banana waffle Calories

Chocolate sauce, melted dark chocolate, honey, or a little whipped cream all pair well with a strawberry banana waffle. Since the fruit already brings sweetness, a light drizzle lets the strawberry and banana flavors come through.

Keep a strawberry banana waffle crisp by adding the sliced fruit and any sauce just before serving. Let the cooked waffle rest on a wire rack rather than stacking it on a plate, where trapped steam can soften its crisp surface.

Yes, you can freeze the cooked waffle portion of a strawberry banana waffle, but freeze it without the fruit. Separate waffles with parchment paper in an airtight container, then reheat them in a toaster or oven and add fresh strawberries and banana afterward.

A strawberry banana waffle is cooked in a waffle iron, which gives it a grid pattern and a crisper exterior. A pancake is cooked on a flat griddle and is generally softer; either can be served with strawberries and banana.

Yes, you can cook the batter for a strawberry banana waffle in a nonstick pan as small, thick pancakes. The result will still pair with strawberries and banana, but it will not have the waffle’s characteristic grid or crisp texture.

Add the strawberries and banana to a strawberry banana waffle after cooking, just before serving. This keeps the fruit fresh and prevents its juices from making the waffle soggy; cooked fruit can also lose its shape and turn mushy.

Store leftover strawberry banana waffles by separating the fruit from the waffle and refrigerating each in a covered container. Reheat the waffle on its own in an oven or toaster to restore some crispness, then add the fruit again.

Serve a strawberry banana waffle with plain yogurt, extra fresh berries, or a small amount of nut butter for a more filling meal. For a sweeter dessert-style plate, add a little melted chocolate or whipped cream.

Usually, the strawberries and bananas on a strawberry banana waffle are served fresh rather than cooked. They are sliced and placed on the finished waffle, though some recipes cook fruit into the batter or warm it separately as a topping.
