Blueberry waffles with syrup are soft, golden waffles topped with fresh blueberries and sweet syrup. They make a tasty breakfast that’s both fruity and comforting.
I like adding extra berries on top—makes me feel fancy even if I’m just at home. Sometimes I sneak a little whipped cream too!
If you want to save time, use frozen berries and heat the syrup slightly. It’s quick and easy for a yummy morning treat.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Blueberries: Fresh blueberries provide natural sweetness and a pop of flavor. I like to toss mine with a little flour before adding; it keeps them from sinking. Frozen work great too—just thaw and drain excess water.
Syrup: Maple syrup adds classic sweetness. If you want a twist, honey or agave syrup works well. Warm your syrup slightly for easier pouring and a richer taste.
Waffle Batter: Usually made with flour, eggs, milk, and a pinch of baking powder. For fluffier waffles, fold in some whipped egg whites. You can swap regular milk for almond or soy milk if needed.
Syrup: Maple syrup adds classic sweetness. If you want a twist, honey or agave syrup works well. Warm your syrup slightly for easier pouring and a richer taste.
How do I prevent my waffles from sticking to the iron?
Ensure your waffle iron is well-oiled before pouring batter. Use a brush or spray to coat the surface lightly. Avoid opening the iron too early; wait until the waffles are golden and crisp, so they release easily without tearing.
- Step 1: Lightly coat the waffle iron with non-stick spray or a little melted butter.
- Step 2: Don’t open the iron until the timer indicates ready or waffles are golden.
- Step 3: Use a fork or tongs to gently lift the edges if needed, not a fork which can tear the waffle.
