Blueberry Homemade Belgian Waffles

Belgian waffles (some people refer to them as Brussels waffle), either way you know them you may agree with me and say that they are great for breakfast, brunch and even dinner. Why not! In North America, Belgian waffles are a variety of waffle with a lighter batter, larger squares, and deeper pockets than ordinary American waffles. Belgian waffles were originally leavened with yeast, but baking powder is now often used.

It’s blueberry season and we can’t pass up a U-Pick farm. I got together with a group of food blogger friends and enjoy the beautiful weather, stunning blueberry fields, the chatter of everyone around us, and the taste of the different varieties available.

We met at the Beck Bothers Blueberries. They have about 17 acres of pure blueberry love. Carrying three different varieties; Windsors, Emeralds, and Jewel. The Jewel are said to be best for baking because they are smaller in size. You will be given a bucket and can be on your way to blueberry heaven. The season runs from 6 to 8 weeks, so check them out when you are in the area of Windermere, FL and stop by for some fresh, juice and delicious blueberries.

In the meantime here is a delicious homemade Blueberry Belgian Waffle recipe that you must try today or during your weekend brunch! This waffles are light, airy and melt in your mouth goodness. Plus, the blueberries adds a tangy and juicy texture and taste that will have you wanting more. Trust me! So go for it, make it and enjoy it!
