3 cups complete buttermilk waffle & pancake mix
2 ¼ cups water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 (8 ounce) tub whipped topping

6 ounces fresh blueberries
6 ounces fresh raspberries

Pour about 1/3 of the batter into preheated waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer’s recommendations.
On each of the 12 smaller square waffle segments, spoon whipped topping in the upper left corner and decorate with blueberries for the “stars”.
To make the stripes, spoon whipped topping along the second and fourth rows and top with banana chunks; arrange raspberries in the first and third rows.
Helpful hints:
1. You can make this recipe using a round waffle iron in place of a square waffle iron; it will just change the final appearance.
2. You can substitute strawberries for the raspberries in this recipe for the red stripes.
