Blueberry waffles are a tasty breakfast treat with fluffy, crispy texture and juicy blueberries mixed into the batter. They make mornings special and are loved by kids and adults alike.
I like to add a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top or a drizzle of syrup. Sometimes I toss in extra berries if I want more fruitiness—sweet and simple!
If you want to make them healthier, try using whole wheat flour or adding a handful of nuts. It’s quick and easy to enjoy a warm, fruity breakfast!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Blueberries: Fresh blueberries give these waffles their juicy burst of flavor. I like using organic berries when possible, but frozen work great too—just rinse and drain before adding. You can also swap for chopped strawberries or raspberries for variety.
Waffle batter: Made with flour, eggs, milk, and a touch of vanilla, this forms the base. For fluffier waffles, I suggest adding a little baking powder. You can substitute almond milk or dairy-free milk if needed, and plain yogurt for extra richness.
Butter or oil: Adds moisture and helps crisp the waffles. I recommend melted butter for flavor, but vegetable oil is a fine substitute. For a healthier option, try applesauce or Greek yogurt in place of some fat.
How do I keep my waffles crispy and not soggy?
To keep waffles crisp, make sure your waffle iron is hot before adding batter. Cook until golden brown and avoid opening the iron too early. If they’re soft after cooking, place on a wire rack in a warm oven (200°F) for 5-10 mins to crisp up.
- Preheat the waffle iron fully before pouring batter.
- Cook until you see steam lessening and waffles are golden brown.
- Let cooked waffles sit on a wire rack instead of stacking to prevent sogginess.
- If serving later, warm in a low oven to restore crispness.
