Why You’ll Love My Recipe

Whether you use fresh, wild blueberries or frozen blueberries, my blueberry waffle recipe is fast and easy to make! The perfect weekend brunch!

If you’re short on time but still want to enjoy waffles in the morning, why not try making some simple Bisquick™ Waffles? Or go the more traditional route and make your own Classic Homemade Belgian Waffles instead?

Karlynn’s Recipe Notes

Skill Level: The simple, straightforward instructions make this recipe ideal for experienced chefs or for those who are just learning how to cook.
Total Time: Prep: 5 mins Cook: 20 mins
Variations: Try substituting buttermilk for milk instead. Buttermilk Waffles add a bit more of a southern tang to make everything tastier. Top with Homemade Blueberry Syrup-made even more flavourful with wild blueberries that you can often find out in the countryside in mid-summer.
Tools For This Recipe: You’re going to need a waffle iron, a whisk, and a spatula. Stand mixers can also be used if you have one in your kitchen.

What You’ll Need for Ingredients

All-purpose flour: You can use whole-grain flour as a substitute for all-purpose flour but expect your batter to be much denser. If you prefer, you can also use gluten-free flour, or if you want to make Keto Waffles, try using almond flour instead. Karlynn’s Tip: To get a thicker, more dense waffle, simply use a little bit more batter each time you make a waffle.
Salt, Baking powder, White sugar, Eggs: Ordinary table salt is fine, but you can also use sea salt, Himalayan pink salt or for more of a gourmet flavour try french salt such as Fleur de sel-a true artisan salt. You can substitute raw sugar or pearl sugar for white sugar. Karlynn’s Tip: If you can get farm-fresh eggs from a local farm or at a farmer’s market, it’ll make your waffles even tastier.
Milk & Butter: Substituting buttermilk for regular milk can give your waffles more of a traditional southern flavour. Karlynn’s Tip: If you prefer to cook using less salt in your diet, I recommend unsalted butter.
Vanilla extract: Vanilla extract is a traditional ingredient used in waffles; however, you may want to experiment using honey, maple or almond extract as a more exotic substitute for vanilla.
Blueberries: Depending on time and sometimes budget, frozen blueberries are always a good choice to use in Blueberry Waffles. Most grocery stores carry fresh blueberries year-round and if you have a secret wild blueberry patch out in the country, you can never go wrong with the natural sweetness and robust flavour of wild blueberries.
Toppings: Let’s face it, old-fashioned whipped cream with blueberry sauce and sprinkled with icing sugar is an absolute delight. Karlynn’s Tip: If you’re counting calories, you may want to try topping your waffles with honey or try another hybrid flavour option such as homemade raspberry jam.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar.
Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions.
Beat the eggs in a large measuring cup, then stir in the milk, butter, and vanilla.
Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture; then beat until mixed thoroughly.
Spray the waffle iron with a non-stick spray.
Ladle the batter (making sure you get some blueberries in there as they may sink to the bottom) into a preheated waffle iron and close the lid.
Cook the waffles until they are golden brown and crisp.
Serve with a few extra berries on top, syrup, whipped cream etc.

Karlynn’s Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Blueberry Waffles

Take the time to ensure you have all the essential ingredients on hand. Experimenting with substitute ingredients may not be successful. It’s always best to follow the basic recipe first and master the dish. This will save you time, money and potential stress.
Fresh ingredients such as blueberries and eggs are always preferable. If you can’t get fresh blueberries in season, frozen blueberries are a great option. Some grocery stores carry farmed frozen blueberries as well as frozen wild blueberries.
For a better whipped topping, I recommend fresh whipping cream in the dairy section of your favourite grocery store. Using this method also helps you control the level of sweetness in your whipping cream.

Storage Instructions

While it’s best to eat Blueberry Waffles fresh, if you have leftovers, there’s a way to store them to enjoy them at another time.

Refrigerator: I recommend using an airtight container or ziplock style plastic storage bag and place in your fridge for two to three days. If you don’t plan on eating your leftover Blueberry Waffles right away, storing them in the freezer is a great option.

Freezer: Ensure your Blueberry Waffles are stored in an airtight container suitable for your freezer. Frozen waffles can be stored for up to three months.

Reheating Blueberry Waffles: You can reheat waffles stored in the fridge or freezer using a toaster or toaster oven. This will help maintain crispness. I don’t recommend reheating using a microwave oven.
