Turns out muffin batter can also be used to make some really delicious waffles, these Blueberry Waffles are quite literally blueberry muffins in waffle form.
Blueberry Waffle Batter
Blueberry Compote
Vanilla Yogurt Whipped Cream
Blueberry Waffle Batter
Preheat the oven to 250 and place a baking sheet in the oven.
In a medium mixing bowl, add in the lemon zest and sugar. Rub the lemon sugar between your fingers until fragrant and the mixture starts to clump from the oils.
Add in the soft butter, salt, vanilla and almond extracts. Beat until light and fluffy, medium high speed for a stand mixer, high speed for a hand mixer, for about 3 minutes.
Add in one egg at a time, beating in between each one.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add in the greek yogurt and milk. Beat again until combined.
Pour in the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix until almost fully combined, you should still see little bits of flour.
Fold in the rinsed blueberries.
Heat up the waffle iron. The amount of batter you'll need per waffle will depend on the size of your waffle iron. I used approximately 1 cup of batter per round waffle.
Cook the waffles according to the waffle iron instructions. After each one is done cooking, place them on the baking sheet in the oven to keep them warm and crisp. Start on the blueberry compote while the waffles are cooking.
Blueberry Compote
In a small pot add in the blueberries, lemon juice, and a spoonful of honey or sugar.
Cook over medium low heat, stirring as needed until they have reduced and the bubbles.
Once reduced, pour the blueberries onto a sheet pan or shallow dish and leave them to cool.
Yogurt Whipped Cream
This is of course optional but I love to dollop a little vanilla yogurt whipped cream on top.
In a medium mixing bowl add in the greek yogurt, another spoonful of sugar, a sprinkle of salt, and vanilla. Whisk to combine and then pour in the heavy cream - whip again with the whisk until thick.
Serve each waffle with the blueberry compote and yogurt whipped cream. I also love to dust them with powdered sugar but that's always optional.
