• Baking Powder – The leavening agent that’ll help make the batter rise.
• Eggs, separated  – The egg yolks add richness, while the egg white increase lift.
• Sugar – Just a little bit, to sweeten the batter
• Flour – It’s all about the base! Traditional all-purpose flour works here.
• Salt – To bring out even more of the sweetness of the blueberries.
• Milk – It’ll moisten the dry ingredients and enrich the waffles.
• Melted butter – The magic ingredient with the power to make anything it touches wonderfully rich!
• Vanilla Extract – The ultimate baked good flavor enhancer.

Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until they’re stiff. This is the key to making the waffles extra tall and fluffy!

3. Combine the batter ingredients.

Whisk together your sugar, flour, and salt.

Make a hole in the middle and gradually whisk in the milk, egg yolks, melted butter, and vanilla.

4. Fold in the blueberries and egg whites.

Folding means mixing a light ingredient very carefully into a denser mixture to keep it from deflating.

Fold in the blueberries first, followed by the egg whites.

5. Cook the waffles.

Slowly ladle the batter into the preheated waffle iron. This will ensure the holes are filled in perfectly.

Let the batter set in the iron for a bit before closing the lid. This’ll keep the batter from oozing

Cook the waffle according to your waffle iron’s manual instructions.

Repeat to cook the remaining batter.

6. Serve and enjoy!

Garnish them with your favorite waffle toppings and enjoy!

Tips- # Blueberry Waffles (Best Recipe From Scratch)

• If time permits, give the batter some time to rest. This will allow the gluten to relax and absorb the liquid ingredients, thickening the batter and making your waffles taste even better.
• Keep the cooked waffles nice and warm while you’re cooking the rest by keeping them in a  200-degree Fahrenheit oven. Or, warm them up in the toaster oven.
• If you prefer eating them at room temperature, allow the waffles to cool on a wire rack. The slits in the rack will allow air to circulate underneath the waffles, keeping the bottoms nice and crisp

Absolutely. Blueberry waffles are freezer-friendly, so go ahead and double or triple the batch!

Here’s how.

1. Let the waffles cool completely on a wire rack.

2. Stack them up in a freezer-safe container, with a sheet of parchment paper in between to keep them from sticking. Label the bag accordingly and freeze. 

Blueberry waffles will keep well for up to 3 months.

To Reheat – blueberry waffles Worldramens

Reheat frozen waffles in the toaster oven on low heat, about twice or thrice.

This will allow them to warm all the way through, without burning the outside. 

Or, if you want to reheat several waffles at a time, do so in a 350-degree Fahrenheit oven for about 10 minutes.

If you’re in a rush, you can always pop the waffles in the microwave. They won’t be crispy, but the flavors will still be there. 

Microwave frozen blueberry waffles for 30-60 seconds on high, or until warmed through.
