Easy Blueberry Waffle Recipe

We are lovers of all breakfast food in our house. My kids enjoy having breakfast for dinner on the weekends as well. We like to make this blueberry waffle recipe when we want something special. It’s easy to make, and they’re so good! Even my picky eater likes them.

Quick breakfast options are my go-to when we have busy weekday mornings or are just too tired. These blueberry waffles freeze amazingly, so I often double the batch and store the extras for another day. That way, if I am extra hungry or have a craving, I can pull a couple from the freezer anytime. It’s also a favorite of the kiddos before school, too.

What You’ll Need

This blueberry waffle recipe calls for basic ingredients that include many pantry staples. You likely have many of these items in your kitchen right now!

Ingredients for blueberry waffles on a white table.

Dry ingredients: Flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Heavy Cream and Milk
Butter: I like to use unsalted butter. Melt it in a microwave-safe bowl before making the blueberry waffle batter.
Eggs: you’ll need 3 eggs.
Vanilla: Pure vanilla extract will give the waffles a more authentic vanilla flavor.
Blueberries: Fresh blueberries work best because frozen blueberries have excess moisture.
Cream Cheese: Optional. Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing with the sugar.

How to Make Blueberry Waffles

After making your waffle batter, it can be a little bit time-consuming since you will be cooking the waffles one at a time. This is why I like to make extras to store for another time!

Step 1. Preheat your waffle iron.
Step 2. Mix softened cream cheese and sugar in a small bowl. Set it aside for the filling.
Step 3. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a large bowl. Stir until combined, and then create a well in the middle of the flour mixture.
Step 4. Whisk heavy cream, milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla in a medium bowl until well incorporated.
Step 5. Pour the wet mixture into the well in the bowl of flour. Stir until just combined – do not overmix. The waffler batter will be lumpy.

Step 6. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
Step 7. Generously spray the hot waffle iron with non-stick spray.
Step 8. Pour enough waffle batter to cover the bottom of the waffle iron. Add about ¼ tsp dollops of the cream cheese mixture evenly around the top and cover with more batter.
Step 9. Close the waffle iron and cook for about 3 minutes or according to your waffle iron’s instructions.
Step 10. Repeat with the remaining batter until all of the waffles are cooked.
Step 11. Serve warm with your favorite toppings! If you have left over cream cheese filling you can thin it out with a little heavy cream and use it to drizzle over the top.

Tips and Tricks

Make sure all of your ingredients are gathered and measured ahead of time. This will save you so much time – especially since most waffle irons heat fast.
Do not overmix the waffle batter. The lumps are normal and will cook out.
Avoid stacking the waffles to keep them from becoming soggy. I recommend placing them on a wire rack after they are removed from the iron.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. They will stay fresh for up to 4 days.
To reheat, I recommend the toaster at a medium setting to make them a little crispy again. You can also place them in the oven. The microwave will make them soggy, so keep that in mind.
You can also freeze them! Place cooled blueberry waffles in a freezer bag and store for up to 3 months.
Feel free to leave out he cream cheese filling if you prefer. Either way, these are delicious!
