    Crispy, buttery and sweet waffles. These fluffy Blueberry Waffles are one of the easiest ways to get you out of bed in the morning and they are super easy to make too. You can easily freeze them too, making them a great make-ahead breakfast to save you time on a busy weekday morning. Kids love them too!

    Why you will love them

    • Quick - Just a few minutes prep time is all that is needed to make this blueberry waffle recipe.
    • Sweet and fluffy waffles - These are the perfect texture waffles.
    • Easy to adapt - Use this blueberry waffle recipe as a guide and then adapt it with your favourite waffle ingredients. We love some chocolate chips too.
    • Freezable - Make a big batch of these blueberry waffles and then keep them in the freezer for quick and easy meals.

    Ingredients needed

    All the ingredients needed for this recipe with text overlay labels.
    • Plain flour - You can use wholewheat flour to make these waffles, however it will make them quite heavy. We like a nice light waffle, and using plain flour helps that. You could swap half of the flour with oat flour.
    • Sugar - We used white granulated sugar, because it makes a crispier blueberry waffle. You could swap it for brown sugar instead though as it gives a richer caramelised flavour.
    • Baking soda - This is the leavening agent in waffles. It helps the waffles to rise and become more fluffy and tender.
    • Egg - This helps to bind the waffles. If you want this to be egg free, then you can use a flax egg instead. Simple mix together 1 tablespoon of flax seed meal and 2.5 tablespoon of water and leave for 5 minutes before using.
    • Milk - We used skimmed milk, however any milk will work. We have even made these with our homemade almond milk before.
    • Vanilla extract - This adds a lovely flavour to the waffles. Make sure you use extract and not essence.
    • Butter - This adds a lovely creaminess to the waffles. We used unsalted.
    • Blueberries - You can either use fresh or frozen blueberries for this recipe. A mixture of different berries will work too.

    A full ingredients list with measurements is in the recipe card below.

    How to make Blueberry Waffles -Step by step

    One: Put the flour, sugar and baking soda into a large bowl and mix.

    Flour, sugar and baking powder in a large mixing bowl.

    Two: In a smaller bowl, whisk the egg and add the milk, vanilla and melted butter and mix well.

    Three: Pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture and gently stir to form a batter. Gently fold in half of the blueberries

    Four: Oil your waffle iron and pour half the mixture into it and close the lid. Cook according to your waffle iron instructions. Ours took around 3-4 minutes to cook. Repeat with the rest of the batter mixture. Serve with yogurt or cream and the remaining blueberries on top.

    Variations

    Our favourite, and easy, way to adapt these blueberry waffles is with chocolate chips. Dark, milk or white, throw them all in. You just little bursts of melty chocolate flavour when you bite in to them.

    You don't have to use blueberries in this waffle recipe. We have made this recipe with chopped up raspberries and cherries (chopped up because they are bigger) and they work just as well. You could even use a mixture of berries - that would be very colourful. Frozen berries also work.

    Top tip

    The secret to getting waffles with a lovely crispy outside, but with a light and fluffy inside, is to let the batter rest. Don't heat your waffle maker until the batter has been made. The time it takes for the waffle maker to heat up is the perfect resting time (about 10 minutes).

    This resting time for this waffle mix lets the flour absorb more of the moisture in the batter, resulting in a crispier waffle exterior. Using white sugar will help to get them crispier too.

    Waffles toppings

    Once you have made these easy blueberry waffles, it's all about the toppings. We kept it simple with something creamy and some extra blueberries of course. A little lemon zest in the mixture is really nice too, and lemon and blueberries go so well together. If you LOVE blueberries, then add a blueberry compote on top.

    We used reduced fat squirty cream, but you could swap that for Greek yogurt for a lower fat alternative. For something a little more indulgent, a little sprinkle of dark chocolate chips would be a delicious addition.

    The best thing about waffles is that the topping options are almost endless. However here are some of our other favourite toppings:

    • Maple syrup/honey
    • Banana and caramel
    • Yogurt and berries
    • Frozen yogurt/ice cream for dessert waffles
    • Pineapple and mango
    • Jam
    • Nut butter
    • Crushed Oreos

    FAQs

    Are blueberry waffles healthy?

    Making your own waffles is healthier than store bought, as you can control the amount of sugar that goes in them and they don't have loads of additives to give them a longer shelf life. Also, I think that we all know how amazing blueberries are by now? They are a rich source of antioxidants and packed with vitamin C, K and fibre.

    Can you use frozen blueberries to make waffles?

    Yes, you can use frozen blueberries instead of fresh if you prefer. We would recommend adding the blueberries in to the batter still frozen, as if they are defrosted they can be a little liquidy.

    Can you freeze blueberry waffles?

    These waffles are perfect for freezing. Just wrap them individually in grease-proof paper and stack them and then they will keep in the freezer for 3-4 months. 

    How to reheat blueberry waffles

    You have a few options when it comes to reheating these waffles. You can either put them in the oven at 160°C for 10-15 minutes until heated through, or pop them in the microwave and blast them for 40 seconds. Did you also know that you can put frozen waffles in the toaster. Beware though, that if you have really juicy blueberries then it can make a mess of your toaster.

    Can waffle batter be made the night before?

    Yes, it can and it's one of my favourite ways to get ahead on a crazy school morning. You can make the waffle batter the night before and then store it in an air tight container in the fridge. It can actually be kept this way for up to 3 days.

      Oh wow!! I love the look of these blueberry waffles. The lower calories of the sweetener really appeals to me as a way to reduce sugar in my diet. The combination blueberries and cream is best level in my mind!!

      I think you may have reawoken the waffle desire in me . I love blueberries in everything! When I lived alone inevitably I'd have to freeze leftover waffles, I put mine straight from the freezer into the toaster.
