• Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds brightness and a gentle tang that balances the sweetness of the waffles and complements the blueberries perfectly.
• Blueberries: You can use fresh or frozen blueberries for this recipe. They burst beautifully as the waffles cook, creating little pockets of sweetness throughout.

How To Make Blueberry Lemon Waffles

1. Preheat Waffle Maker: Set your waffle maker to heat according to the manufacturer’s instructions so it is ready when the batter is done.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk, melted butter, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sugar until evenly combined.

4. Make the Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined without overmixing.

5. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries so they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6. Cook the Waffles: Pour batter into the preheated waffle maker and cook until golden, crisp, and cooked through.

7. Make Cheesecake Topping: Beat the cream cheese, yogurt, and sugar together in a bowl until smooth, creamy, and lump free.

8. Prepare Blueberry Sauce: Combine blueberries, water, sugar, and lemon, bring to a simmer, stir in cornstarch, and cook until thick.

These Blueberry Lemon Waffles pair beautifully with a few cozy favorites from the kitchen. Try them alongside a warm mug of Nutella Hot Chocolate for a decadent breakfast that feels like dessert in disguise. If you’re leaning toward a savory balance, Cream Cheese Scrambled Eggs make the perfect light and creamy companion. And for something fresh and fruity, a Honey Lime Fruit Salad adds the perfect pop of color and citrus to brighten up your plate.
