Mini Waffle Skewers with Berries
A fun, colorful, and utterly delicious brunch treat that’s as easy to make as it is to eat. Perfect for sharing or serving as a showstopper centerpiece!
Ingredients
-
12 mini waffles (store-bought or homemade)
-
6 fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
-
Powdered sugar, for dusting
-
6 toothpicks or mini skewers
-
Optional dips: warm maple syrup, vanilla Greek yogurt, or chocolate-hazelnut spread
Instructions
-
Toast the Waffles:
Toast waffles in a toaster or toaster oven until golden and crisp (or bake at 375°F for 5–7 minutes). A crisp exterior helps the skewer stay sturdy. -
Prep the Strawberries:
Wash, hull, and slice strawberries in half. Pat dry to avoid soggy waffles. -
Assemble the Skewers:
-
Start with one mini waffle on a toothpick.
-
Add a strawberry half, cut-side down.
-
Top with another mini waffle. Repeat for remaining skewers.
-
Tip: Gently wiggle the skewer through the waffles if needed to avoid cracks.
-
-
Dust with Powdered Sugar:
Use a fine-mesh sieve for an even, snowy finish. Do this right before serving. -
Serve & Dip:
Arrange skewers on a platter or in a tall glass. Serve with maple syrup, yogurt dip, or chocolate-hazelnut spread for extra indulgence.
Notes
-
Fruit swaps: Blueberries, raspberries, bananas, or peaches.
-
Chocolate twist: Use chocolate chip waffles or drizzle with melted chocolate.
-
Tropical version: Pineapple and mango with toasted coconut.
-
PB&J style: Spread peanut or almond butter inside waffles.
-
Gluten-free/Vegan: Use GF/vegan mini waffles and plant-based yogurt.
