• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 13
• Yields: 8 waffels
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 cup white flour
• 1 cup whole wheat white flour or 1 cup white flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1⁄3 cup ground flax seeds (optional)
• 2 eggs
• 1 1⁄2 cups buttermilk
• 3 tablespoons melted butter, plus extra to top waffles
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup fresh blueberries or 1 cup frozen blueberries, plus extra for topping cooked waffles
• 1⁄2 cup maple syrup and powdered sugar to top cooked waffle
• 2 -3 tablespoons cooking oil, to brush waffle iron

directions

1. Mix together in large bowl flours, baking powder, salt sugar and flax.
2. Add eggs and buttermilk, and mix in with flour mixture.
3. Add melted butter and vanilla and mix altogether into a smooth texture.
4. Add fresh blueberries. If you use frozen blueberries, dust with a couple tablespoons of flour to prevent berries from bleeding blue color into the batter.
5. Heat up waffle iron and brush with cooking oil, add blueberry waffle batter and cook per directions of your waffle iron. I like to cook them until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
6. Top finished waffles with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar and more blueberries.
