Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. 1 tablespoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. 2 large eggs. 1 1/2 cups milk. 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed and hulled. 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips. Vegetable oil for waffle iron. Powdered sugar for dusting. Whipped cream optional.
