Crisp buttery blueberry waffles are a spectacular breakfast treat that will have you coming back for just one more bite until they are gone.

Sometimes I snack on a plain blueberry waffle, occasionally we drizzle them with maple syrup, but most often in our home Blueberry Waffles are topped with my grandmother’s waffle sauce.

We’ve been pouring my grandmother’s waffle sauce over blueberry pancakes for years, but I never thought to try making blueberry waffles until a couple of months ago.

Oh my goodness, these waffles are amazing. Bursting blueberries along with all those crispy waffle pockets to hold that sweet vanilla sauce? Yes, please!

I’ve made this blueberry waffles recipe so many times now, they have a reserved place in my freezer alongside the Ham and Cheese Waffles that we all love so much.

Kitchen Tip: I use this square waffle iron or this round double waffle iron to make this recipe.

How to Make Blueberry Waffles

Preheat the waffle iron. Stir together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Add the milk and eggs and stir to combine. Add the melted butter, vanilla, and almond extract. Stir to combine.

Stir in the blueberries and then pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron. Cook until lightly browned. Serve with waffle sauce or with a drizzle of maple syrup.

Pour Waffle Sauce over waffles or pancakes for an AMAZING breakfast treat!

Blueberry Waffle Recipe

Blueberry waffles require a little extra effort to make sure they turn out perfectly and don’t trash your waffle iron. As some of the berries will burst while cooking, the potential for a sticky waffle iron is there.

I recommend greasing the waffle iron generously with butter between each waffle or spraying the iron with cooking spray.

Also, and this is important, clean the waffle iron right after breakfast. Don’t let it sit and grow too cold before cleaning. The first time I made these, I accidentally closed the waffle iron and forgot to clean it that day.

It was a mess when I went back to it. (I’ve learned since to leave it open until it’s clean!)

The following times when I made this recipe for blueberry waffles, I used a damp rag to wipe it clean while it was still slightly warm. If anything sticks to it, a chopstick wrapped inside that damp rag provides enough pressure to remove any stuck-on berries.

Wondering how to freeze waffles? It’s easy! Allow the waffles to cool completely, before storing them in an airtight zip-close bag. Frozen waffles can be reheated in a toaster oven or in the microwave.

    Made these today for my husband, myself, my mom, and my stepdad(who’s VERY picky! ) and they were a HIT with everyone!! Thank you!

    All good, but I have to advise AGAINST using a non-stick cooking spray. I ended up ruining my perfectly good Cuisinart waffle maker by using spray (Which was actually recommended in the instructions!) Sprays contain soy lecithin. The lecithin turns into a gummy residue, which with repeated use will build a terrible layer of sticky gunk on the plates. When my maker was brand new, it worked great, no sticking. Then I started using spray (again, as recommended), and after a few batches I noticed the waffles were sticking a little, so I used more spray, etc. Eventually, I went on Google to try to find out why my waffles were sticking so badly. That’s when I saw how many people were advising to NEVER use spray. There were several cleaning remedies offered, but most of them involved using ammonia, so I just chalked it up as a loss and bought a new one. I have never sprayed the new one, and it works fine. I use a waffle recipe that contains just a little melted butter, and that seems to be enough to make the waffles release with no trouble. I’m sure that brushing the plates with melted butter or canola oil would work also, but no spray! I’m trying to spread the word about not using the sprays on waffle makes, because I’d like to spare people the trouble and the ruined appliance that I went through.5 stars

      I’ve been using butter for mine and it’s helped a LOT. I’ve been told that nonstick sprays on nonstick surfaces can be a mess. Thanks for the heads up!

      We have the non-stick green pan line from Williams Sonoma and it is stated in the manual to use butter, not non-stick spray so I just looked at my Krups waffle maker manual and it says to pre-season with non stick spray or oil. I’m going to brush with butter instead. It’s worked well for our pans.3 stars

    Question – since the recipe makes 8 waffles, I’m guessing you divide the batter and pour that into the waffle maker for two 4-count batches.
    About how long do the waffles take to brown?

  4. Teresa Valyer says

    These waffles are all good. They keep well in the fridge and freezer. I send my extras to my grandkids for their breakfast the next day, but they don’t last that long. Microwave for 15 seconds and you have fluffy delicious waffles anytime.5 stars

    These waffles are amazing! Really love the addition of the almond extract. I also added some muddled raspberries!!! It took it to another level.
    And so easy!!!
    And I always use nonstick spray and have not had an issue with build up on my iron that is 5 years old now 😀5 stars

  6. Jake says

    The best waffle batter I’ve found so far. I was honestly surprised at how well they turned out-nice and fluffy inside with a crisp on the outside. Will definitely be using this recipe for a long time!5 stars

  7. Michelle says

    I subbed 1/2 the flour with buckwheat and 1 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup oat milk. These were amazing!!!5 stars

  8. Denise says

    I just got a waffle iron for my birthday and can’t wait to try this recipe! I have a question… Have you ever tried this recipe with strawberries or any other fruit?

  9. Ally says

    I recently bought a waffle iron for the first time and this recipe was the first I decided to try. The waffles always turn out perfectly…a little crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I subsequently have tried other waffle recipes (chocolate and chocolate chip) from other chefs. I followed the instructions exactly but those waffles turned out similarly…deflated and had a more mushy consistency. This waffle recipe is BY FAR the best and I’ll def come back to this site in the future to try more of Mary’s waffle and other recipes!5 stars
