These mouthwatering whole grain waffles are a quick and easy way to satisfy your weekend breakfast time sweet tooth. vegetarian

Layers of waffles topped with blueberry, syrup, cream and walnuts.

So you really want to wow them and take these waffles over the top?  Add vanilla bean whip cream, lemon blueberry compote, and maple syrup then garnish those amazing waffles with walnuts, and fresh blueberries!  Say whaaaa?  Oh, I know, you’ll be patten’ yourself on the back, giving those internal high fives knowing you knocked this one out the front door!  Go ahead. When it’s this good and everyone knows it, it’s ok to gloat!

Waffles… comfort food and yes, an indulgent breakfast.

I try to limit myself to an occasional Sunday morning extra special treat. These nutty whole grain waffles with blueberry compote are sure to please family, friends and/or guests!  They come together quickly and taste amazing!

Whipping cream, white sugar and vanilla in a stainless bowl whipped with a handheld mixer..

So give someone in the house a whisk and whip cream while you put the compote together. It’s a family affair and it gets these mouthwatering waffles in your and their belly sooner than later!

Ingredients of the blueberry compote.

Preparing the ingredients

Blueberry compote is a sweet berry, syrupy sauce made with fresh or frozen blueberries, brown sugar and lemon. I tend to cut back a bit on the maple syrup when I make a compote for my waffles because it is so sweet.  

As the brown sugar melts and the blueberries breakdown in the saucepan, it turns into a mouthwatering blueberry syrup.

Wet ingredients poured on the dry ingredients and mixed with a wire whisk in a stainless bowl.

If blueberries are’t available but you have blueberry jam on hand, you can cook 1 C on low with 1/8 C sugar (more to taste), a few Tbs of water and lemon zest to make a quick compote. It will be just as delicious as the fresh blueberry compote!

Pouring the batter in a waffle maker.

These waffles freeze beautifully. If any leftovers are available, place them in a Ziploc bag and freeze. Thaw and reheat in a 350F oven for about 8-10 minutes for a super quick, whole grain breakfast.

Pouring syrup over a layer of waffles on a small plate.A close up of the waffles topped with blueberries, cream and syrup.

What I love most about this waffle recipe is that it comes together in under 30 minutes. The waffles are not yeasted, so they don’t have to rest over night or even for a short period before baking. Mix the ingredients and they’re ready to bake in your waffle iron.

Enjoy!

These mouthwatering waffles are a quick and easy way to satisfy your weekend breakfast time sweet tooth. This recipe makes 4, 3 1/2 oz waffles.

Ingredients

For the Compote:

  • 1 C Fresh Blueberries 6 oz
  • 1/3 C Brown Sugar packed (2 1/2 oz)
  • 1/4 C Water
  • 1 Lemon zested

For the Whip Cream:

  • 1/2 C Heavy Whipping Cream 4 oz
  • 1 Tbs Powder Sugar sifted or fine Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste or Vanilla Extract

For the Waffles:

  • 1 Egg large
  • 3/4 C + 2 Tbs Milk
  • 1 Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/2 C Unsweetened Applesauce 4 oz
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste or Vanilla Extract
  • 3/4 C Whole Wheat White Flour 4 1/4 oz
  • 1 Tbs Corn Starch
  • 1/4 C Almond Meal 1 1/4 oz
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Sugar granulated
  • 1/8 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Cinnamon ground
  • 1/4 C Walnuts finely chopped

Serve With:

  • Maple Syrup
  • Butter
  • Fresh Blueberries
  • Reserved Walnuts

Instructions

For the Whip Cream:

  • Pour the heavy cream into a stainless or glass bowl. Start whipping the cream until it slightly begins to thicken. Add the sugar, a little at a time while continuing to whip. Add the vanilla and continue to whip until thick, creamy and smooth. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

For the Compote:

  • In a 2 quart sauce pan, add blueberries, sugar, and water. On medium heat, allow mixture to come to a simmer, then turn heat to low. Stir occasionally while cooking. The compote will begin to thicken and become syrupy. After about 10 minutes of cooking, remove the pan from heat, but keep it in the pan so it can be served warm. Grate the lemon over the compote so the zest falls into the pot.

For the Waffles:

  • In a large 2 cup measuring cup, measure out the milk and add the apple cider vinegar. Whisk. Let the milk/vinegar mixture sit for 5 minutes to thicken. You'll have a lovely soured milk, or buttermilk. To the soured milk add the egg, applesauce and vanilla. Mix well.
  • In a large bowl, add the whole wheat white flour, corn starch, almond meal, baking powder, sugar, salt, cinnamon and all the walnuts except for 2 Tbs, reserved for garnish. Whisk to mix well.
  • Turn the waffle iron on to heat up.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently stir/whisk until all the dry ingredients are moistened.
  • Bake in the waffle iron according to the manufactures' instructions. My waffles take about 4-5 minutes to bake.
  • To hold the waffles warm, while the rest are baking and so everyone can eat together, heat the oven or toaster oven to 200F and place baked waffles in oven until ready to serve.
  • Test the compote, if it needs warming, rewarm it now. Slightly heat the maple syrup if using.

To Assemble:

  • Place waffle on plate, slather butter over waffle, top with 2-3 Tbs blueberry compote, pour amount of maple syrup desired, top with whipped cream and garnish with blueberries and reserved chopped walnuts. Serve right away.

Notes

These waffles freeze well. Simply cool the waffles completely, place in Ziplock bag and freeze. To rewarm, thaw the waffles and bake at 350F for about 8-10 minutes.

      Hey Elizabeth! Thank you! The waffle iron was a gift from my husband after going through two cheepie ones that just fell apart within a few years of eachother. I guess he got tired of the waste and just went for the gusto! It’s a Breville and it is a fantastic machine! The reviews are spot on and I highly recommend it. I had to make room for it, as it is big, but I’m so happy to have it in my kitchen. I will last a lifetime. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy the recipe! :D

    These are the BEST waffles in the whole world. I love these with just plain ole maple syrup and some fresh fruit. Seriously you could eat it just plain with nothing on it.

        Absolutely these babies are scrumptious. I think there’s some jealous people on Facebook who saw your pic of waffles and were drooling.

    Your recipes, Traci. Jeez! They’re just so appealing to me. I really love your food photographs, so I know exactly what to do. And the maple syrup GIF! I’m dying. So cool! I have no idea how to make a GIF but I need to. I sadly don’t own a waffle iron, but I’m totally encouraged to get one now! I can’t get enough of that whipped cream either. I love love love vanilla bean paste, I always feel so chef-y when I use it. I think it’s the speckles. Another spectacular recipe!

      My goodness, Allison! HA!! Thank you! :D The waffle iron.. takes up too much cabinet real estate, but so worth it when you NEED a waffle! I agree about vanilla bean paste, definitely a chef-y ingredient and kicks the vanilla flavor way up! Love it!
