These Vanilla Blueberry Waffles are an easy, light waffle recipe that will become a Sunday morning breakfast staple or even special breakfast-for-dinner nights!
Once I learned to make waffles, my breakfast game changed completely. I was amazed at how easy it was to turn a typically carb-heavy breakfast into a breakfast just by switching out a few ingredients.
As I continue on this journey, I’m realizing how many recipes can be substituted with almond flour and alternative sweeteners to make my recipes.
Anyway, back to these Vanilla Blueberry Waffles. These are absolutely delicious. It turns out vanilla and blueberry are the perfect contrasting flavors. The vanilla sweetens the tart blueberries while the blueberries keep it all from becoming too sweet.
Plus, the blueberry topping is basically eating fruit for breakfast, right? 😉
This waffle recipe comes together in just 15 minutes, which makes it ideal for breakfast with a big family or group of friends.
How To Make Vanilla Blueberry Waffles:
Step 1: Begin by preheating your waffle iron
Step 2: Mix together all ingredients, except those for the blueberry waffle topping, in a bowl, combining all well.
Step 3: Pour 1/2 cup of batter into the waffle iron
Step 4: Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your preferred doneness.
Step 5: While waffles are cooking, start making the blueberry sauce by melting butter in a pan. Add in the blueberries.
Step 6: After 2 minutes, begin mashing the blueberries with a fork.
Step 7: Add in your favorite sweetener and let simmer for an additional minute or two, stirring often.
Step 8: Remove blueberry sauce from heat and let sit while waffles finish cooking.
Step 9: Serve waffles warm with blueberry sauce.
Enjoy!
What variations can I make on this Blueberry Waffle recipe?
If blueberries aren’t your thing, you can easily substitute them with other berries or fruit. Just be sure to double-check that you’re using fruit that falls within the guideline. You can use this waffle base for nearly any waffle recipe.
Can I freeze these waffles?
I personally think they have a better texture fresh but you may freeze them for easy breakfasts in the future. I like to warm them up in the toaster oven. Freeze the blueberry sauce separately.
Now, remember to save this recipe on Pinterest for later 🙂
