These classic blueberry waffles are light, fluffy, and ready in minutes! Rest the batter and cook until the waffle iron stops steaming for perfectly crisp, golden homemade waffles.
Combine the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar, and whisk to combine.
Add the wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Then, whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until incorporated.
Rest the batter. Set aside and let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
Heat your waffle iron. While the waffle iron is heating, fold the blueberries into the batter.
Cook the waffles. Coat the waffle iron with cooking spray, then drop about ⅓ to ½ cup of the batter onto it. Cook the waffles for 3-4 minutes, or until done. Transfer the cooked waffles to a wire rack to keep them crisp while you work on the remaining batter.
Serve. Serve the blueberry waffles warm with extra blueberries on the side, if desired, topped with maple syrup and pats of butter.
Notes
Cook the waffles until the steam stops coming from the iron.
You can fold the blueberries into the batter or leave them out altogether; it's completely up to you. As the waffles cook, the blueberries soften and become almost jam-like, adding little pockets of sweet blueberry flavor throughout.
For extra flavor, add almond extract, about 1 teaspoon.
