Crispy, buttery blueberry waffles are a great breakfast that will leave you wanting more until they’re gone.
Sometimes I snack on plain blueberry waffles, sometimes I drizzle them with maple syrup, but most of the time we top them with Grandma’s waffle sauce.
Blueberry waffles with waffle sauce have become one of my most frequent breakfast cravings.
We’ve been pouring our grandmother’s waffle sauce on blueberry pancakes for years, but never thought of making blueberry waffles until a few months ago.
Oh my god, these waffles are amazing. Popping blueberry and crunchy waffle pockets filled with sweet vanilla sauce? Yes, please!
I have made this blueberry waffle recipe many times. The freezer has a place reserved alongside the ham and cheese waffles we all love.

How to make blueberry waffles

Stir in blueberries and pour batter into hot waffle iron. Bake until lightly browned. Serve with waffle sauce or maple syrup.
Blueberry waffle recipe how to make
Blueberry waffles take a little more work to make sure they’re perfectly done and don’t ruin your waffle iron. Some of the berries may burst during cooking, resulting in a sticky waffle iron.
We recommend applying a generous amount of butter to the waffle iron between each waffle or spraying the iron with cooking spray.
Also, and this is important, clean your waffle maker right after breakfast. Don’t let it get too cold before cleaning. The first time I made it, I accidentally closed the waffle iron and forgot to clean it that day.
Putting it back in was a mess. (I’ve since learned to keep it open until it’s cleaned!)
The next time I made this recipe for blueberry waffles, while it was still slightly warm, I used a damp rag to wipe it clean. Use enough pressure to remove any stuck berries.
Wondering how to freeze waffles? It’s easy! Allow the waffles to cool completely before placing them in an airtight, resealable bag. Frozen waffles can be reheated in a toaster oven or microwave.
