Description
Light, airy, and golden-brown waffles packed with bursts of tart blueberry flavor. This easy weeknight recipe uses buttermilk for tenderness and frozen berries for convenience, coming together in under 20 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups (360ml) buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup (60g) melted unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 ½ cups frozen blueberries
- Extra flour for dusting blueberries
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl until no white streaks remain.
- In a separate medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and sugar until smooth and uniform.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and gently stir until just moistened. The batter should remain lumpy; do not overmix.
- Toss the frozen blueberries with a teaspoon of flour to coat them, then gently fold them into the batter.
- Preheat a waffle iron for 5 minutes and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Pour about ½ cup of batter onto the center of the iron. Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes until steam stops rising and waffles are golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer cooked waffles to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to keep them crisp. Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven.
Notes
Do not thaw the blueberries before adding them to the batter, as this can make the waffles dense and purple. Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay and ensure fluffy texture. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes if time permits for extra fluffiness. Grease the waffle iron between batches for best browning.
