If there is one combination of flavors that wins for me around the beginning of spring and Easter, it must be lemon and blueberries! They combine perfectly in these delicious blueberry lemon waffles. Fresh blueberries and delicious lemons win every time!
These blueberry lemon waffles have fresh and bright flavors. They are absolutely perfect for any time of day.
Great as a lazy weekend breakfast but also perfect as a snack or even for dessert. The batter is easy and you need just one bowl and a waffle maker to make these!
The batter makes about 10 waffles but you can easily half the amount if you want to make less (or double for more!). The total amount also depends on the size of your waffle maker.
Take a large mixing bowl and add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and lemon zest) and mix it through to combine.
Add the wet ingredients (eggs, milk, oil and lemon juice) and mix until you have a smooth waffle batter. Gently fold the blueberries in.
Heat your waffle iron and grease it with either oil or cooking spray. Depending on the size of your waffle iron, fill the plates with about 1.5 to 2 scoops of batter. Close the iron and bake until the waffles are golden brown.
How long they need depends on your machine. Mine usually take about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the waffle from the iron and let it cool on a wire rack. The waffles will firm up once they cool.
Serve the waffles with maple syrup, lemon curd or make a delicious blueberry sauce. Any other fresh fruits will work with these delicious lemon blueberry waffles!
Store the blueberry lemon waffles in an airtight container for 3-4 days. You can easily reheat them in a toaster if you want to.
Absolutely. The waffles freeze great and you can store them for 3 months that way.
Yes, absolutely. You can use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer. Don’t thaw them first, as that can make the batter too wet and turn it purple.
You can prepare the batter a few hours in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Give it a quick stir before baking, as it may thicken slightly.
You can substitute it with another neutral oil such as vegetable oil or canola oil. Melted butter also works and adds a richer flavor.
Fresh lemon juice is highly recommended for the best flavor, especially since lemon is a key ingredient here. In a pinch, bottled lemon juice will work, but the flavor will be less vibrant.
Place baked waffles on a wire rack in a low oven (about 200°F / 95°C) to keep them warm without losing their crisp edges.
