These blueberry waffles have become a serious breakfast staple for me! I pretty much make a batch a week and keep them in the freezer so they stay fresh. I pull out two every morning and pop them in the toaster (just like an eggo!), top them with a little grass fed butter and pure maple syrup and they are to die for. My 9 month old loves them too, with extra blueberries on the side!
You will need:
- Waffle Maker
- 2 mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Measuring cups & spoons or food scale
- 30 minutes – 1 hour for prep and cook time
Ingredients:
- Flour – 2 cups (250 grams)
- Sugar – 2 tablespoons (25 grams)
- Baking Powder – 4 teaspoons (18 grams)
- Salt – 1/2 teaspoon (3 grams)
- Ground Cinnamon – a few dashes
- Eggs – 2 (large)
- Milk – 1 & 1/2 cups (367 grams)
- Butter – 6 tablespoons (85 grams), melted
- Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon (4 grams)
- Blueberries – 1 cup (150 grams)
Directions:
Preheat waffle iron. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl with a whisk and set aside. Using a microwave safe cup (or on the stove top), warm up the milk for 1 minute. In a second mixing bowl, combine the eggs, warm milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk together until fully combined (you shouldn’t see any dry flour at the bottom of the bowl). Add however much cinnamon you’d like, along with the blueberries, and mix until the blueberries are evenly dispersed throughout the batter. I use a mini waffle maker and it takes 2 scoops from my 1.5 tablespoon cookie dough scoop to make 1 waffle. This is a bit less than 1/4 cup of batter per waffle. If you have a regular sized waffle maker, you will need more batter to make a full waffle! Happy breakfast 🙂
*Notes: You can omit the cinnamon if you’re not a fan of it. I use frozen blueberries, but you can always use fresh (the weight will be different for fresh blueberries). I also use whole milk but you can most likely substitute with any other milk and it would work just fine! The waffle maker I use is the Dash Mini waffle maker which you can find at Target, Costco, or Amazon. I will add it to my list of links. Tip: if you’re going to freeze the waffles, put a sheet of parchment paper in between each layer so they don’t stick together!
