<h3>Ingredients You'll Need</h3>

To make these delightful waffles, gather the following ingredients:

- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour – This gives the waffles structure and lightness.

- 1 tablespoon sugar – Adds a touch of sweetness, which complements the blueberries.

- 1 tablespoon baking powder – Makes the waffles fluffy and airy.

- ¼ teaspoon salt – Balances the flavors.

- The ingredients are bound together by one big egg.

- 1 ¼ cups milk – Keeps the batter smooth and creamy.

- The rich, buttery flavor is added with ¼ cup of melted butter.

-1 cup fresh blueberries – The star of the recipe!

- Cooking spray or a little more melted butter – To grease the waffle iron.

Optional:

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – For extra flavor depth.

- Powdered sugar or maple syrup – For serving.

<h3>Step-by-Step Guide to Perfect Blueberry Waffles</h3>

<b>1. Prepare the Waffle Batter</b>

Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. This combination of dry ingredients is the base of your waffles, creating the perfect texture and fluffiness.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and melted butter. Adding these wet ingredients gradually helps achieve a smoother batter, minimizing lumps.

<b>2. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients</b>

Gently incorporate the wet components into the dry ingredients after pouring them in. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the waffles dense instead of fluffy. A few lumps are okay and will smooth out as the batter cooks.

<b>3. Fold in the Blueberries</b>

Gently mix the blueberries into the batter.If you prefer evenly distributed blueberries, toss them in a teaspoon of flour before adding. This trick helps the blueberries stay in place rather than sinking to the bottom.

<b>4. Preheat and Grease Your Waffle Iron</b>

Preheat your waffle iron to a medium-high setting for golden-brown waffles. Spray it lightly with cooking spray or brush with melted butter to prevent sticking.

<b>5. Pour the Batter and Cook</b>

Pour the batter onto the waffle iron that has been warmed using a ladle or measuring cup. The amount will depend on the size of your waffle iron, but about ¾ cup of batter is a good starting point for each waffle. Close the iron and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

<b>6. Serve Warm and Enjoy</b>

Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately. For extra flavor, dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup or add a dollop of whipped cream. A side of fresh berries is also a fantastic addition!

<h3>Tips for the Best Blueberry Waffles</h3>

<b>1. Fresh or Frozen?</b> – If you use frozen blueberries, don't thaw them; fresh blueberries are the best. Just toss them in flour and add them to the batter frozen to prevent them from turning the batter purple.

<b>2.Crispiness Check</b> – If you like your waffles extra crispy, try cooking them slightly longer or placing them in a low oven (around 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest.

<b>3. Experiment with Flavors</b> – Try adding lemon zest for a refreshing twist, or cinnamon for a hint of warmth.

<b>4. Storage Tips</b> – Freeze any leftovers for a quick breakfast later! Just pop them in the toaster or oven to reheat.

Homemade blueberry waffles are a treat everyone loves, especially when served warm with their crispy edges and sweet blueberry bursts. This easy recipe delivers perfect waffles that look and taste like they came straight from a cozy café.
