A quick and easy mini waffle charcuterie board perfect for Galentine’s brunch, combining fluffy waffles with fresh fruit, creamy spreads, and sweet or savory toppings for a fun and indulgent experience.

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour (1 ½ cups / 180 g)
  • Baking powder (2 tsp)
  • Granulated sugar (2 tbsp)
  • Salt (¼ tsp)
  • Milk (1 cup / 240 ml) – whole milk preferred
  • Large eggs (2, room temperature)
  • Unsalted butter (4 tbsp / 56 g), melted
  • Vanilla extract (1 tsp)
  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Banana slices
  • Mini chocolate chips or chunks
  • Mixed nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts), roughly chopped
  • Greek yogurt or mascarpone cheese
  • Honey or maple syrup
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)
  • Optional savory items: thinly sliced prosciutto or smoked salmon
  • Extras (optional): shredded coconut flakes, cinnamon powder, edible flowers

Instructions

  1. Preheat your mini waffle maker for about 5 minutes until hot.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract; whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry and gently fold together with a spatula; do not overmix.
  5. Lightly grease the waffle maker. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter per mini waffle and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp.
  6. Remove waffles carefully and place on a cooling rack. Repeat until all batter is used.
  7. While waffles cook, prepare toppings: wash and slice berries and bananas, chop nuts, portion yogurt or mascarpone, and have honey or syrup ready.
  8. Arrange mini waffles and toppings on a serving board or platter attractively.
  9. Serve immediately, encouraging guests to build their own mini waffle bites with toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles tender. Use room-temperature ingredients for fluffier waffles. Grease waffle maker well before each batch. Keep waffles warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven on a wire rack to avoid sogginess. Use a small measuring spoon to portion batter for uniform waffles. For gluten-free, swap flour with 1:1 gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use plant-based milk and coconut yogurt. Waffles can be made ahead and reheated in toaster or oven.
