✔️ DO Mix the batter until just combined to avoid tough waffles.
✔️ DO Preheat the waffle maker for even cooking.
Storage
Store any leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze, place the cooled waffles on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then store in a freezer bag for up to three months. Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
Recipe FAQs
To prevent blueberries from sinking, toss them in a little flour before folding them into the batter. This helps the blueberries stay suspended throughout the batter and ensures even distribution.
You can make these pancake style without a waffle maker by using a grill pan or skillet. Heat the pan over medium heat, pour in the batter, and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook until golden brown and cooked through.
The best way to reheat blueberry waffles is in a preheated oven or air fryer at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes or in a toaster. This helps retain their crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.
Belgian waffles are typically larger, thicker, and have deeper pockets compared to regular waffles, which makes them ideal for holding toppings like syrup and whipped cream. They are also made with a lighter batter, often using yeast or beaten egg whites to create a fluffier texture, while regular waffles tend to be more dense.
