Blueberry Waffles
Description
The Blueberry Waffles recipe blends simple pantry ingredients such as plain flour, sugar, and baking soda with fresh blueberries and vanilla to create a batter that turns into golden waffles with a tender interior. The inclusion of skimmed milk and melted butter adds moisture and subtle richness that complements the slight tartness of blueberries. Cooking in a greased waffle iron ensures crisp edges while the interior remains soft and fluffy. This recipe produces a fruity, lightly sweet waffle that serves well with yogurt, cream, or more fruit for breakfast or brunch.
Preparation involves mixing dry ingredients separately from wet, then combining them carefully to maintain a light texture before folding in the blueberries. Cooking time varies depending on the waffle iron, but about 3-4 minutes per waffle is typical. The waffles freeze well, allowing for convenient storage and quick reheating, saving time on busy days. Variations include substituting other berries like cherries or raspberries, adapting the recipe to personal fruit preferences.
Topping ideas include reduced fat squirty cream or Greek yogurt to control fat content while adding creaminess. The recipe notes also suggest that the amount of waffles made will depend on the size of the waffle maker, highlighting an important practical consideration. Greasing the waffle iron between batches helps ensure easy release and even cooking.
Ingredients
- 130 g plain flour sieved
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- 250 ml skimmed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 25 g butter melted
- 100 g blueberries for the batter
Instructions
- Put 130 g Plain flour, 2 tablespoon Sugar and 1 teaspoon Baking soda into a large bowl and mix.

- Pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture and gently stir to form a batter. Gently fold in 100 g Blueberries.
