Step-by-Step Instructions
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of gluten-free all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until combined. This should take less than a minute, and you’ll start to smell those dry ingredients, they really do have a comforting aroma!
Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of almond milk, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil or butter until everything’s well blended. You’ll love the sweet scent of maple syrup mixing with the creamy almond milk!
Mix it All Together: Pour those wet ingredients into the dry ones, and mix gently until just combined. You don’t want to overdo it here, just a couple of stirs until all that flour disappears. That’s where the magic happens!
Fold in the Blueberries: Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries. You want to make sure they’re evenly distributed without smashing them. Trust me, nobody likes mushy blueberries in their waffles, right?
Preheat Your Waffle Iron: Get that waffle iron heating while your batter rests for a few minutes, this helps create those perfectly crispy edges. Lightly grease it with some cooking spray or butter so your waffles don’t stick.
Cook the Waffles: Pour about a half cup of batter into the waffle iron, depending on its size. Close the lid and cook according to your manufacturer’s instructions, usually around 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Oh! The smell wafting out of the waffle iron will have everyone hovering around the kitchen!
Serve Warm: Serve your waffles warm, topped with a few extra blueberries and a drizzle of maple syrup if the spirit moves you! You might even want to add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Yum!
Why This Recipe Works

Crowd-Pleaser
The whole family will love these waffles! Kids will go crazy over the sweet blueberries and warm, fluffy texture. And if your family likes customization, you can easily switch things up! Add in chocolate chips or nuts, or top them with yogurt and fruit.
Customizable
One of my favorite things about this recipe is how versatile it is. If you have other berries, like raspberries or strawberries, feel free to swap those in! You can also make it seasonal by adding pumpkin spice in the fall or some lemon zest in the summer. I mean, options galore!
Comfort Food
These waffles are just loaded with flavor and give you that warm hug feeling we all crave. They remind me of lazy Sunday mornings spent with my family over a big plate of bacon and freshly brewed coffee.
Make-ahead Friendly
Feeling extra ambitious? You can whip this batter up the night before, cover it, and pop it in your fridge. In the morning, just give it a good stir and cook as usual! This is my go-to recipe when I want to make mornings smoother for busy weekdays.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Blueberry Waffles with a side of crispy bacon or sausage, because who doesn’t love sweet and savory, right? Fresh fruit makes a great addition too, along with yogurt or whipped cream for a touch of indulgence!
Storing Leftovers
If you have any waffles left over (which is rare in my house!), you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just make sure they’re in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
Reheating
To reheat, pop them in a toaster or an oven at 350°F until warmed through. You want that crispy exterior again! Trust me, a microwave isn’t the best option here, they’ll get soggy.
Freezer Friendly
Yes, absolutely! You can freeze these waffles after they’ve cooled down completely. Just place them in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until firm, then transfer them into a freezer bag. They’ll keep well for about 2 months. When you’re ready, reheat in the toaster or oven, like magic!
