Step 1: Prepare the Batter
Begin by adding all your ingredients, except for the diced strawberries, into a mixing bowl. Using a mixer, blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 2: Incorporate Strawberries
Once your batter is smooth, gently fold in one cup of diced strawberries, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter without over-mixing.

Step 3: Preheat and Grease the Waffle Maker
Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once it is heated, use a brush or a paper towel to evenly coat the surfaces with a bit of grease to prevent sticking.

Step 4: Cook the Waffles
Pour the prepared batter into your greased waffle maker, spreading it as needed. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through. Cooking times may vary based on your waffle maker.

Step 5: Add Toppings and Serve
Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the waffle maker and place them on a serving plate. Top with freshly chopped strawberries. Serve warm with syrup or whipped cream for an extra treat, and enjoy immediately!
