Mini Waffle Bar 3 Ways

Brunch isn't complete without some mini buttermilk waffles and all the toppings.  Celebrate spring and summer with 3 different ways to make mini waffles!

Mini Waffle Bar 3 Ways

Create a fun and festive way to eat breakfast or brunch this spring and summer by creating a mini waffle bar.  MGG gave me the cutest mini waffle iron for my birthday and it makes the cutest single serving waffles.  So to put it to good use I decided to create a waffle bar with various toppings.  Waffles 3 ways, what's better than that?

The waffle batter is my basic homemade buttermilk waffle batter and the topping include nutella, banana slices, strawberry slices, honey yogurt, raspberries, and powdered sugar.  Just place all the topping in bowls along side the waffles and set it all on a big board or platter.  Then let everyone serve themselves, and make some creative waffles.  It's fun to see what people come up with!

I made these three versions:

Waffle - Nutella + banana slices

Waffle - rasberries + powdered sugar

Waffle - Honey yogurt + strawberry slices

Enjoy!

all-purpose flour
sugar
cornstarch

Substitutions and Variations

• Get creative with the toppings - choose blueberries, blackberries, orange marmalade and yogurt, nut butters, kiwi slices, coconut shreads, granola, PB&J, chocolate chips and whipped cream

Kitchen Tips and Notes

• The mini waffles will take a while to make since it is one at a time.  Cook the waffles ahead of time and keep them warm in the oven at 200 degrees while making the rest of the waffles.
