Step 6: Remove the waffles and allow them to cool slightly before cutting them into sections if desired.

Step 7: Arrange the waffles on a serving plate and top with sliced bananas and chopped strawberries.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the fruit and whipped cream separate until serving for the freshest taste.

To reheat, place the waffles in a toaster, oven, or air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes until warm and crisp. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it may make the waffles soft.

Fresh toppings should be added after reheating for the best texture and flavor.
