Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.75 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for blueberry sauce)
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the chopped nuts and set the batter aside to rest for 5 minutes.
While the batter rests, prepare the blueberry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine fresh blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries begin to release their juices, about 5 minutes.
Dissolve the cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water, then stir it into the blueberry mixture. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or butter. Pour the recommended amount of batter (based on your waffle iron's size) into the hot waffle iron and close the lid.
Cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 3-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping cooked waffles warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven if desired.
Serve the waffles warm, topped with the homemade blueberry sauce. Optionally, garnish with extra chopped nuts or whipped cream.
