Enjoy a fun and healthy twist on breakfast with these Waffles Fruit Skewers. Perfectly toasted waffles paired with a colorful mix of fresh fruits and a drizzle of pure maple syrup create a delightful and nutritious meal or snack that’s quick to prepare and visually appealing.

Ingredients

Waffles

  • 4 pieces frozen waffles (whole grain or gluten-free)

Fruit

  • 1 cup mixed fruits (strawberries, bananas, blueberries, kiwi), chopped into bite-sized pieces

Toppings

  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup

Other

  • 4 pieces wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. Toast the Waffles: Toast the frozen waffles in a toaster until they become golden brown and crispy. Once toasted, allow them to cool slightly to handle safely.
  2. Prepare the Fruits: While the waffles are toasting, wash and chop the mixed fruits – strawberries, bananas, blueberries, and kiwi – into bite-sized pieces for easy skewering and balanced bites.
  3. Cut the Waffles: Cut each toasted waffle into quarters to create smaller, manageable pieces that pair well with the fruit chunks on the skewers.
  4. Assemble the Skewers: Alternate threading the waffle pieces and fruit pieces onto the skewers, creating an appealing pattern and flavor combination on each skewer.
  5. Drizzle Maple Syrup: Lightly drizzle pure maple syrup over the assembled skewers to add natural sweetness and a glossy finish.
  6. Serve: Serve the fruit and waffle skewers immediately to enjoy them fresh and crispy with juicy fruit.

Notes

  • Use whole grain or gluten-free waffles based on dietary preferences for added nutrition or allergy considerations.
  • Feel free to substitute or add any fresh fruits based on seasonality or personal preference.
  • The fruit skewers can be made ahead but are best served immediately to maintain waffle crispiness.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a small amount of cinnamon on the waffles before toasting.
  • Metal skewers should be handled carefully as they can become hot; wooden skewers can be soaked in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning if grilling later.
