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 you’ll love this recipe
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!.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
In a nutshell, waffles contain more sugar and more butter than a typical pancake
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!
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.

Kylee’s Notes
- 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.

I made this recipe exactly as written ( with the cinnamon ) And they were perfect. My Belgium waffle iron took 15 minutes each to cook. Sooo I popped in toaster fora minute and they crisped right up.
Stella Roachclip says
Hey everyone! We made these tonight with bacon, sliced strawberries & dirty eggs and they were a hit! I used frozen berries & followed the prep instructions for those with zero issues. I made the 6 waffle yield & we have plenty for breakfast tomorrow. Very good, easy recipe that doesn’t need anything changed. A+ waffles.

Simply delectable waffles! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. blueberries make it sweet and tart, the perfect combination. I would strongly suggest topping it with whipped cream. I tend to make these in the morning when I am hosting guests, and always get a complement.

This recipe is fantastic! We made it exactly according to the directions and it was just perfect. The resulting waffles were light, tender and scrumptious. The hint of cinnamon made these EXTRA special.
