How to Serve Blueberry Waffles

Blueberry waffles are delicious on their own, but there are many ways to enhance your experience. Serve them with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey for added sweetness. For a special touch, add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream on top. Fresh fruit or a sprinkle of powdered sugar makes a lovely garnish, turning your breakfast into a stunning plate.

How to Store Blueberry Waffles

If you have leftover blueberry waffles, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can stay fresh for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or warm them in the oven for that crispy texture. You can also freeze the waffles, placing parchment paper between them, for up to two months. Reheat directly from frozen for a quick breakfast!
