Blueberry Lemon Buttermilk Waffles { + Giveaway! }

March 12, 2014 · by Ari · 18 Comments

Bright, citrusy, lemon gluten-free waffles stuffed with fresh blueberries. Slightly crisp on the outside; soft and pillowy on the inside. So good you’ll want to eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Blueberry Lemon Buttermilk Waffles: Healthy & gluten-free

I almost never make breakfast. I mean, I do…it’s called Greek yogurt + a chopped apple + chia seeds + honey + granola, or occasionally oatmeal. That’s about as thrilling as it gets in these parts.

I do love breakfast foods, and whenever I find an excuse to host brunch, I always get nerdily excited about new pancake and waffle combinations I can create. You see, I am a morning routine person. I eat the same two things for breakfast every single morning, and it makes me feel good, like all is right in world. Yeah, yeah…I am a total freak about things that don’t matter. It’s cool.

So usually I eat things like eggs, waffles and pancakes for dinner. I love it. I get excited all day when it’s on the meal plan, and I’ve actually been trying to schedule breakfast for dinner in once a week lately. All because of these waffles. Because they were that good.

Blueberry Lemon Buttermilk Waffles: Healthy & gluten-free

A couple of weeks ago, I invited my family over for dinner. When they came in and I announced that we were having breakfast for dinner, my mom was so excited. She couldn’t get over the idea (it seemed so foreign to her), and as we ate she told me that she felt like she was in a diner, but with better food. I love her.

I was so insanely happy with how these waffles turned out. Like, I even saved the leftover batter to make more when there was really only enough for one more waffle because they were just so crazy good. The bright lemon flavor shines and the blueberries almost melt into the waffle when smashed with the waffle iron.

They have that perfectly crispy waffle exterior while still being light and soft on the inside, and my family kept asking me if they were really gluten-free. Yes, they are. But you will never know. Of course (as always) you can sub in whatever flour you like, but I legit love this baking blend more than any other flour I’ve ever used.

Blueberry Lemon Buttermilk Waffles

Bright, citrusy, lemon gluten-free waffles stuffed with fresh blueberries. Slightly crisp on the outside; soft and pillowy on the inside. So good you'll want to eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups gluten-free baking blend (or white whole wheat flour)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • pinch sea salt
  • 2 eggs, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup reduced fat buttermilk, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 small lemon, zest and juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2/3 cup blueberries, preferably organic

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl whisk together baking blend, cornstarch, baking soda and sea salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, coconut oil, vanilla, lemon zest, lemon juice and honey. Gently fold wet ingredients into flour mixture until just combined and some small lumps remain. Do NOT over mix. Gently fold in blueberries. Let batter stand for 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat waffle iron and spray with nonstick spray. Transfer a heaping 1/4 cup of batter onto prepared waffle iron and cook until golden, about 5-7 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately. Leftovers may be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

      I avoided getting one for a long time–I kept thinking I could always make pancakes, but let me tell you, I love that thing. There is something about waffles that just feel so fancy. You won’t regret it! 🙂

      You do need one. You should register for it for your baby shower. That’s what I would do, just register for things I want. This is why I would make a terrible mother. 😉
