Blueberry Waffles
Equipment
- Waffle Maker
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp baking sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- pinch of salt
- ¾ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it to prevent sticking. A non-stick spray works best.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution and fluffy waffles!
- Mix the Wet Ingredients In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.
- Fold in the Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries. Be careful not to crush them too much—those juicy bursts of flavor are the best part!
- Cook the Waffles: Pour the batter into your preheated waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer instructions (usually about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy).
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with your favorite toppings! Try Greek yogurt, maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or even more fresh blueberries.
Notes
Tips & Variations
- Crispier waffles? Add an extra tablespoon of butter to the batter.
- No fresh blueberries? Frozen works just as well—just toss them in a little flour before folding them in to prevent them from sinking.
- Make it healthier by using whole wheat flour or a mix of oat flour.
- Dairy-free? Use almond, oat, or coconut milk and swap butter for coconut oil.
