How do you make a good thing better? Add blueberries to your waffles—it’s that simple. Our blueberry waffles are sure to become your go-to breakfast, whether you’re feeding the family or hosting a brunch. These waffles are a simple batter made with butter, buttermilk, flour, a little sugar, plus baking powder and baking soda for the rise. We add fresh blueberries before the waffles cook, and serve them with more fresh berries. Serve these crisp, fluffy waffles with tangy crème fraîche, rich whipped cream, or sweet maple syrup.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour, spooned and leveled, plus 1 teaspoon for dusting berries

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 2 cups low-fat buttermilk

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (6 ounces), plus more for serving

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • Sweetened creme fraiche and confectioners' sugar, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat oven and waffle maker; combine dry ingredients:

    Preheat oven to 275°F; set a rack on a baking sheet and place in oven. Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

  2. Whisk buttermilk, butter, and eggs; add flour mixture:

    In a large bowl whisk together buttermilk, butter, and eggs. Add flour mixture to buttermilk mixture and stir just until batter is combined. Toss berries in 1 teaspoon flour; fold into batter.

  3. Cook waffles:

    Lightly coat waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour 1 cup batter (this may vary depending on size of waffle iron) in the center of iron, spreading evenly with a spatula. Close iron; cook until waffles are golden brown and crisp, 7 to 8 minutes.

  4. Transfer to oven to keep warm while remaining waffles cook:

    Remove from iron and quickly toss back and forth from hand to hand to cool slightly and allow waffles to crisp up. Transfer to rack in oven; repeat with remaining batter. Serve with blueberries, crème fraîche, and a sprinkle of confectioners' sugar or maple syrup.
