Waffles with Berry Infused Buttercream

August 24th is National Waffle Day! We've got quite a few family favorite recipes but I wanted to give something new a try and I found this recipe on the Blendtec website. Both the batter and the berry infused buttercream are made in the blend, which makes it super easy.

One of my other favorite countertop appliances is my Presto Flipside Belgian waffle maker. I've had lots of other waffle makers but this consistently puts out waffles that are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.

My buttercream turned out a bit thin but I was okay with that. I used strawberries that I picked up at a local farm and blueberries from our patch. It tasted great and wasn't overly sweet.

I love how the little pockets catch the buttercream and I topped them off with more blueberries. You definitely can swap out the fruits for whatever you like, I'm looking forward to trying them again in a few weeks with some of our blackberries!
