FOR THE WAFFLES:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons sugar (or preferred sweetener)

1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

2 eggs

1/4 cup melted butter or oil [reduce to about 3/4 of this amount; make up the difference with unsweetened applesauce or plain Greek yogurt]

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

FOR THE LEMON BLUEBERRY COMPOTE:

1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

1/4 cup water

2-3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 lemon (zest and juice)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

FOR THE WAFFLES:

Preheat your waffle iron.

Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Prepare wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract.

Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay. Gently fold in the blueberries.

Cook waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron if needed. Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook according to your waffle maker's instructions until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

FOR THE LEMON BLUEBERRY COMPOTE:

Cook blueberries: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, water, honey or maple syrup, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir gently to combine.

Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Let it cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the blueberries have burst and the mixture has thickened slightly.

Add vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more sweetener or lemon juice if desired.

SERVE:

Place a waffle on a plate and spoon some of the warm Lemon Blueberry Compote over the top. Optionally, garnish with fresh blueberries, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and a dollop of yogurt or whipped cream.
