This previous Christmas, my dad and mom obtained me a type 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, whereas brainstorming for a Mom’s Day recipe, I figured why not mash up the basic Strawberry Shortcake with some rhubarb and waffles whereas giving it just a few dietitian tweaks alongside the way in which.
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 entire wheat flour
- 1/4 cup floor flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Zest from half 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 half of a lemon or orange
- For Mascarpone Yogurt Topping:
- 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the waffles, in a big bowl whisk collectively flours, floor flaxseed, oil, sugar, vanilla extract, salt and zest. Whisk in buttermilk.
- In a separate bowl, whisk collectively eggs and baking soda. Combine into flour combination with wood spoon till all the pieces is included. Bake in waffle iron based on directions.
- For sauce, add rhubarb, 2 cups strawberries, sugar and water to a big saucepan. Convey to a boil, then simmer 10 – quarter-hour or till the sauce is easy (stir regularly.) Take away from range and blend in remaining strawberries, vanilla extract and zest.
- For topping, beat collectively yogurt, mascarpone and vanilla extract.
- To assemble, minimize every waffle in half diagonally. Place one half on dish, spoon sauce over prime. Cowl with different waffle half and spoon over extra sauce. Prime with dollop (about 2 tablespoons) of yogurt topping. Repeat with remaining servings. Serve with contemporary mint if desired.
This waffle batter will get a fiber and whole-grain enhance with the addition of entire wheat flour and floor flaxseed. And whereas I normally take pleasure in actual whipped cream for desserts like this, I additionally just like the more healthy different of whipping collectively plain Greek yogurt with mascarpone cheese. It’s one other approach to reduce on some energy however nonetheless get a creamy, dreamy topping as well.
