The Ultimate Homemade Blueberry Waffles Recipe with Peach Brown Butter is one of the greatest moves I make when it comes to impressive breakfast (or brunch) fixes – and we love breakfast over here. From homemade classic cereals and perfectly puffed popovers to bakery style muffins and spicy egg dishes, we’ve got no shortage of tasty morning offerings here. Using my go-to waffle batter, I level things up considerably by adding some juicy, bursting blueberries and a little crunchy (store-bought) granola.

The peachy, vanilla-scented brown butter, however, is maybe the star of the show here. It melts down into the crevices and squares of each waffle, pooling into bits of sweet, nutty, buttered peach – and truly makes this recipe feel like something you’d get at your favorite brunch spot. I love it when recipes do that. It’s a little bit magical.

The Ultimate Homemade Blueberry Waffles Recipe: A Few Tips

  • Buttermilk. The buttermilk goes to work in this waffle batter in the same way it does for a great homemade pancake, coffee cake, or quick bread. It acts as a tenderizer and helps create fluffy, tender-crumbed waffles. Plus, that bright tang is just where it’s at, flavor wise.
  • Egg Whites. Now, not all waffle recipes ask that you separate your eggs (into whites and yolks) and then whip up the whites to fold in the batter. But, it is this simple yet powerful step that helps to create the fluffiest, perfectly puffed, restaurant-worthy waffles. It’s a great technique to have in your back pocket, and it requires no extra ingredients to do. It only takes a few minutes to whip your eggs whites, and the simple addition of this step really does make a difference in the waffles, in the end.
  • FREEZING! I like to make a double batch of these waffles to get on hand in the freezer. Man do these make for a special morning, during a busy work/school week. Just cool them down once they come off of your iron, pop them into freezer-safe bags and freeze for up to 3 months. You can toast them up in your freezer the same way you would store-bought frozen waffles.

To make The Ultimate Homemade Blueberry Waffles with Peach Brown Butter, you’ll need:

The Ultimate Homemade Blueberry Waffles Recipe: Here’s The Step-by-Step:

  1. Pre-heat your waffle iron. 
  2. Prepare the peach browned butter. In a small saucepan, add the butter and allow it to melt. After it has melted, continue cooking it until it begins to appear golden brown and smells nutty; about an extra 2 minutes. Once it’s browned, add the diced peaches, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and ½ tsp cinnamon. Transfer to a smaller container, and transfer to the fridge to solidify
  3. For the waffles: Using a hand-held or stand mixer, whip the egg whites until they have stiff peaks; about 3 minutes.
  4. In a medium bowl, mix together the yolks, melted butter, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Add the flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Once the batter is just combined, add the blueberries and granola. 
  5. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the jam and syrup until warmed through.
  6. I like to serve these waffles with a generous amount of peach butter slathered on top, extra granola, and some blueberry syrup.
  7. Using about 1 heaping cup of batter per waffle, prepare the waffles according to your iron’s manufacturer’s directions, cooking until golden brown and done in the center. I like to keep the waffles on a baking sheet in a warm oven until ready to serve.

The Ultimate Homemade Blueberry Waffles with Peach Brown Butter

Double Blueberry Crunch Waffles with Peach Brown Butter

The most incredible waffle recipe. These make the perfect bed for summertime berries and peaches. 

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 eggs, divided (whites + yolks)
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups full-fat buttermilk
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup white flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1.5 cups blueberries
  • 1 1/4 cup granola (plus more for topping)
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup blueberry jam
  • Non-stick spray (for the waffle iron)

For the Peach Brown Butter

  • 1 stick butter (8 tablespoons)
  • 1/2 peach, diced (you can peel if you like)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat your waffle iron. 
  2. Begin by preparing the peach browned butter. In a small saucepan, add the butter and allow it to melt. After it has melted, continue cooking it until it begins to appear golden brown and smells nutty; about an extra 2 minutes. Once it’s browned, add the diced peaches, vanilla, and cinnamon.

  8. Serve the waffles with a generous amount of peach butter slathered on top, extra granola, and some blueberry syrup.

Notes

These waffles can be made in advance and frozen for up to 3 months. Just heat in the toaster as you would frozen store-bought waffles.Â
