Blueberry Waffles

If you are looking for a special treat for Mom, maybe you could make her some blueberry waffles?

I recently posted a recipe for blueberry pancakes and it got me to thinking- why didn’t I ever make blueberry waffles? I gave it a try and loved the way they came out. I just added some berries to one of my favorite waffle recipes. They are light and crispy, but still tender in the middle. I served them with butter and maple syrup. They would also be great with powdered sugar.

The blueberries made them special. Makes for a special breakfast. They could also be used as the base for a shortcake. Topped with ice cream or whipped cream, they would make a wonderful dessert.
