A delicious breakfast, bursting with juicy blueberries – these easy Blueberry Waffles will delight the whole family!
These waffles are light and fluffy and golden brown – and take just a few minutes to whip up. You can have 4 Belgian sized waffles in about 15 minutes! DIG IN!!
We LOVE breakfast around here! Pancakes, Waffles, Corned Beef Hash, Eggs Benedict, Cinnamon Rolls – you name it, we love it! Blueberry waffles are a staple during the summer when berries are at their best to be used fresh, although frozen ones do the job as well.
My family LOVES this recipe, and cheerfully scarf these on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Homemade waffles are guaranteed to make my kids smile! *I* love them because they’re simple to make, only a couple of bowls and take a short amount of time to make, and I can get a hearty breakfast into the family and get us ready to go have fun! I’d be lying if I didn’t mention that the low amount of dishes to do afterward is also a motivator.
Why this recipe works:
Waffles are different from pancakes, they contain more sugar and more butter than a typical pancake recipe. This batter has the ideal blend of sugar and butter to create a light, fluffy waffle that has the perfect amount of crispiness, that makes excellent deep wells to hold maple syrup. Which is obviously the entire point of eating pancakes and waffles, right?
The number of waffles you’ll get from this recipe will vary greatly based on the type of waffle iron you have. The smaller, square waffle makers take around 1/4 cup of batter per waffle, vs a big Belgian waffle maker, where you’ll need more. Around 3/4 cup per waffle.
Try a test waffle – slightly undercook them until you figure out the optimal length of time to cook them in your waffle iron. I have a waffle maker similar to this one and cook it on the 3.5 setting – until it beeps. Then I spray, scoop and cook again until all the batter is gone.
Keep waffles warm by placing them in the oven on a low setting while the other waffles cook. Or just yell “NEXT” and feed your family on an assembly line as I do (feed the slowest eater first). You can always refresh the waffles by throwing them in the toaster until they are warm again if you insist on eating all together. You just do you!.

Top tips and FAQs
- Add a little cinnamon to the batter (about a teaspoon) – it will add a really delicious warmth to the waffles.
- Grate a little lemon zest into the batter, for a fresher, brighter flavor.
- Can you freeze waffles? Absolutely! Just place a little parchment between each and store in a freezer zip lock bag. They’ll stay good for 3 months. Just reheat in the toaster! If you are planning to freeze them, undercook them slightly – as they’ll brown up when you toast them.
- What is the difference between pancake and waffle batter? In a nutshell, waffles contain more sugar and more butter than a typical pancake
- What goes good with blueberry waffles? Whipped cream, maple syrup, and powdered sugar are my go-to’s! Blueberry sauce is also good, but I like a scoop of vanilla ice cream on waffles – then it’s a dessert!
- Fresh blueberries or frozen? Either will work just fine. Frozen blueberries contain a little more moisture, and will “bleed” a little into the batter, but that won’t affect the flavor at all.

Oh my GOSH these are some serious waffle goals! I love the idea of adding some cinnamon and lemon zest to the batter – both would be so insanely good with the blueberries. I can’t wait to try these this weekend!

I love waffles and I keep telling myself that I need to get a waffle iron and your recipe has just clinched it. I simply must get one so I can make your delicious waffles.

You have convinced me that I need to get out the Mickey Mouse waffle iron from the back of the cupboard this weekend! 🙂
Tammy
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day too! It’s the only reason I look forward to the mornings haha! Lately, I’ve been in such a waffle mood and that has been my treat each morn. Sadly though, I don’t have a waffle maker but your homemade waffles look thick and beautiful! Definitely, something I need to invest in…it’ll be so worth it!

Waffles and blueberries two of my favorite things. Love the idea of adding the lemon zest to them. Just in time to try for Father’s Day. Pinned

I just made these this morning, except I used chopped strawberries in place of the blueberries! They were so good!
Jennifer Tammy
Okay, looking up flights to AZ because I think I need you to whip me up a batch of these.
Okay thanks 😉
Claire | The Simple, Sweet Life
I always love a good homemade waffle (particularly if they’re blueberry) but these were extra delicious! Love the tip about how to easily scale your recipes for a larger or smaller crowd.
Sylvia Lee
This is actually one a good recipe. The flavor and consistency was awesome. I added a little cinnamon as Kylee suggested and it really complimented the flavor of the blueberries. Excited to try your other recipes!
Mary
Easy to make. Waffles came out fluffy
Rebekah
I wonder if I could substitute chocolate chips in place of blueberries with the same recipe? I love blueberry too though but as a second option too. 🙂
Kylee
You absolutely could!
Crystal
I made these for dinner and added the cinnamon as well. We loved them. The blueberries helped cut the sweetness.
Josh
Haven’t made it yet, still trying to figure out all the ingredients. Sorry, what does “2 Vanilla extract” mean? 2 tsp? 2tbs? 2 roots? 2 cups? I must be missing some arcane knowledge because other people figured out how much that was lol!
Kylee
you found my typo! Thanks, Josh – I’ve corrected it. The answer is 2 tsp – check out the ingredients shots if I ever mess up again – they should help!
Jessica
Thank you for posting this! Is the baking powder quantity a typo too??? It is leaving a bitter aftertaste. Otherwise perfect!!! Thank you!
Kylee
Hi Jessica – no, not a typo. Perhaps your baking powder brand and mine are different. Generally, the baking SODA in the baking powder causes things to be bitter. I use clabber girl baking powder. What brand do you use? I also wonder if the age/freshness of the baking powder is an issue?
Jessica
Thank you, we did not inadvertently use baking soda, although that has happened before! Lol
I have Davis brand, but perhaps time for a new one. Thank you for the tip!
Megan Zoucha
Can I make the batter the night before and store it in the fridge?
Kylee
yes. Add the blueberries right before though.
Sandra
Hi. I’ll be making these for breakfast tomorrow. I was going through the instructions and saw a typo. Not a big deal. It’s kind of funny. But #4 says milk instead of mix. Can’t wait to try these tomorrow!!
