Blueberry Almond Waffles
You can really do magic with a good waffle iron, waffle mix and some fresh ingredients. This is a delicious go-to breakfast for lazy Sunday mornings (or really anytime during the week). Crisp from the outside, moist on the inside, and a subtle vanilla flavor. Magical!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
Waffles
- 3 cups Belgian waffle mix *Krusteaz
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup oil *Grapeseed oil
- 1 1/3 cup water
- 1 tsp vanilla
Fresh blueberry topping
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the waffle mix, eggs, water, oil and vanilla until you have a smooth consistency. Let rest for about 10 minutes.
- Heat waffle iron. (*see recipe notes)
- In a bowl, add fresh blueberries, slivered almonds and the maple syrup. Gently toss until blueberries are coated with the syrup. Set aside.
- Once waffle iron is heated, use a ladle to pour the batter into the quadrants. Take caution not to over-pour as this may cause a mess (per experience!) Close lid and let cook (time varies depending on waffle iron settings/type).
- Carefully remove waffles and let rest on cooling rack for a minute or so.
- Place waffles in a stack (3-4, how ever many you are craving). Spoon blueberry topping, drizzle with maple syrup to your liking and sift powdered sugar on top for a beautiful finish.
- Gobble it up. Or enjoy the deliciousness one bite at a time, whichever you choose!
Notes
*I use Breville (the Smart Waffle Pro) and it is one of the BEST kitchen appliances I own. I love it to pieces and consider it a must-have for waffle enthusiasts like myself. I had to play around with the settings a bit and these are my findings: for this recipe, heat the Breville Smart Wafle Pro at 6 bars and once heated, before pouring in the batter, decrease heat setting to 5 bars (Belgian waffle setting).
