Blueberry Lemon Waffles

Calling all breakfast lovers, especially those with a sweet tooth!  Today, I’m taking a break from my usual quick and easy Kodiak mix and venturing into the world of homemade waffles. These blueberry lemon waffles were surprisingly simple to whip up, and the flavor combination is absolutely divine!  The tartness of the lemon perfectly complements the sweetness of the blueberries, creating a truly delightful breakfast experience. 

While I opted for the waffle form this time, I have a strong feeling these beauties would translate just as well into fluffy pancakes.  However, I wasn’t able to determine the exact yield for pancakes, so that’s an experiment for another day!  Despite the mystery pancake count, one thing’s for sure: these waffles are incredibly filling. The best part? They only clock in at 7 Weight Watchers points, making them a guilt-free indulgence.  And to ensure future waffle enjoyment, I’ve cleverly stashed the remaining two in the freezer for another day. So, if you’re looking for a delicious and healthy way to start your day, look no further than these easy-to-make blueberry lemon waffles! 

Three reasons why you need to make this recipe!

Lemon and blueberry is an amazing combo.

Even if it’s not spring or summer, I suggest using this flavor combo. The bright lemon and blueberries will liven up any cold winter morning. 

It makes three, so it’s perfect for you and a partner.

Different ways to change up this recipe: 

• If you don’t want to use syrup, I suggest microwaving some frozen blueberries until they’re fully warm. This will release some of the juice, and you can just pour it right over the waffle! 

Tips and Tricks for Making Blueberry Lemon Waffles: 

• I always coat my waffle maker very well to prevent sticking. 
• If you want to store these, I suggest keeping them in the freezer rather than the fridge. They’re easy to crisp back up from frozen if using an air fryer or oven. Keeping them in the fridge will just make them soggy.
