Blueberry Waffles

These Blueberry Waffles boast a crisp and buttery crust, with a light and fluffy inside simply bursting with juicy berries! Make this blueberry waffle recipe for a great weekend breakfast (or a dinner too)! You’ll love the simple batter and easy to follow steps too!

Waffles or pancakes. It’s such an epic contrast of styles. Of course, I love blueberry pancakes! Who doesn’t? But it’s also so hard to resist the idea of blueberry waffles.

Why? Why do we like waffles so much? Because with waffles you get a crispier crust and those waffle pockets give opportunities for the sugar in the batter to caramelize. We don’t get that as much with pancakes.

Sometimes a waffle is exactly what you’re looking for. Imagine a nice, big stack of blueberry waffles topped with blueberry sauce. It’s perfect!

How to Make Blueberry Waffles

So, let’s talk about about how to make this blueberry waffles recipe. It’s really quite simple.

Step One: Create the Blueberry Waffle Batter

First, you’ll combine al the dry ingredients, including flours, granulated sugar, and baking powder.

Next, you’ll combine the liquid ingredients, including plant-based milk (I used almond milk), ground flax, apple cider vinegar, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract.

Note: This is a vegan waffle recipe, but you won’t miss the eggs, cow-based milk and butter. We’re using ground flax as an egg replacer and it works great. Come to find out, dairy free waffles are just as good!

Pour the wet ingredients in with the dry and then stir to combine. You don’t want to overmix the ingredients here.

Next, add the blueberries to the batter. Personally I don’t know why they’re called blueberries since they give off more of a purple hue, especially when cooked. But we’ll go with the blue berry waffle title anyway!

I tried adding the blueberries to the flour prior to mixing the batter, but I wasn’t happy with the results. Those waffles tasted fine, but the extra mixing caused many of the blueberries to burst, creating a colorful batter. I didn’t really want blue blueberry waffles!

So, mixing the batter first, and then gently stirring in the frozen blueberries works best.

Step Two: Create the Waffles

Now it’s waffle making time! First, you’ll want to preheat your waffle iron. Once it’s good and hot, spray the waffle iron with vegetable cooking spray.

I like to use a 1/2 cup measuring cup to dispense batter evenly into the heated waffle iron. You can use the back of the measuring cup or a spoon to gently press the batter around, making sure every section of the waffle iron is filled, spreading the batter to the edges.

Close the lid and cook the waffles for 5 – 7 minutes, until golden and crispy. Many waffle irons have a light indicator to show the waffle is done. I found it helpful to cook them a little bit longer, so the edges could get crispy.

Transfer cooked waffles to a pan in a heated oven to stay warm while continue making waffles until the batter is gone.

It’s the combination of plant-based milk with vinegar that makes vegan buttermilk. And that is my favorite trick for fluffy waffles!

Expert Tips for Blueberry Waffles

Here are some great tips to help you make these homemade blueberry waffles perfect every time:

• I’m calling for vegan butter in this recipe. I used Earth Balance buttery sticks.
• If you want an alternative to butter, you can use coconut oil instead
• Ground flaxseed is a great egg replacer, or you can use a chia egg instead
• The batter may thicken up as it sits, if so, feel free to add more plant-based milk or another tablespoon of melted vegan butter. Thinner batter will create crispier waffles.
• I love the combination of all-purpose and whole wheat flour in this recipe, however, you can use only all-purpose flour or even whole wheat pastry flour if you prefer
• If you have a Belgium waffle maker, you can use this batter to make blueberry Belgium waffles
• Any fruit waffles are delicious, so feel free to substitute a berry of your choice, such as raspberries or even a mixture of berries
• I prefer frozen blueberry waffles, but if you have fresh blueberries, they will work great too.

I think you’ll agree these are the best blueberry waffles! You can use the blueberry sauce from my vegan cheesecake recipe. Of course, maple syrup is always tasty over waffles or pancakes.
