This previous Christmas, my oldsters were given me a kind of stovetop Belgian waffle irons and I’ve been on a waffle kick ever since (the Meal Makeover Mothers’ Banana Brownie Waffles are a present fav.)
So, whilst brainstorming for a Mom’s Day recipe, I figured why no longer mash up the vintage Strawberry Shortcake with some rhubarb and waffles whilst giving it a couple of dietitian tweaks alongside the best way.
Description
A twist on strawberry shortcake that includes whole-grain waffles, rhubarb sauce and a mascarpone yogurt topping.
For Waffles:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup white complete wheat flour
- 1/4 cup flooring flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Zest from part of a lemon or orange
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
For Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce:
- 3 cups chopped rhubarb
- 3 cups sliced strawberries, divided
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest from part of a lemon or orange
- For Mascarpone Yogurt Topping:
- 1/2 cup undeniable nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the waffles, in a big bowl whisk in combination flours, flooring flaxseed, oil, sugar, vanilla extract, salt and zest. Whisk in buttermilk.
- In a separate bowl, whisk in combination eggs and baking soda. Combine into flour aggregate with picket spoon till the whole lot is integrated. Bake in waffle iron in step with directions.
- For sauce, upload rhubarb, 2 cups strawberries, sugar and water to a big saucepan. Deliver to a boil, then simmer 10 – quarter-hour or till the sauce is clean (stir continuously.) Take away from range and blend in final strawberries, vanilla extract and zest.
- For topping, beat in combination yogurt, mascarpone and vanilla extract.
- To collect, reduce each and every waffle in part diagonally. Position one part on dish, spoon sauce over best. Duvet with different waffle part and spoon over extra sauce. Most sensible with dollop (about 2 tablespoons) of yogurt topping. Repeat with final servings. Serve with contemporary mint if desired.
This waffle batter will get a fiber and whole-grain spice up with the addition of complete wheat flour and flooring flaxseed. And whilst I most often delight in actual whipped cream for muffins like this, I additionally just like the fitter choice of whipping in combination undeniable Greek yogurt with mascarpone cheese. It’s otherwise to scale back on some energy however nonetheless get a creamy, dreamy topping in addition.
