Blueberry Lemonade Belgian Waffles
The sweet yet tangy flavors of lemonade combined with fresh blueberries are the star of my Blueberry Lemonade Belgian Waffles!
There are a lot of debates on whether people prefer waffles or pancakes, but to be honest you really can’t go wrong with either!
However, I will admit that my waffles take a little longer to prepare (in comparison to pancakes). Time and a little patience are needed to ensure your waffles are light and fluffy — and if you prefer them that way, you’re gonna love these.
I’m a sucker for any breakfast recipe made with blueberries so I figured I would come up with a unique recipe that brought back some childhood memories. I call these waffles my Blueberry Lemonade Belgian Waffles because of the ingredients.
The sweet yet tangy flavors of lemonade (think fresh lemons and sugar) combined with fresh blueberries sound like a great start, don’t you think?
The crucial step in making this recipe is firm egg whites. You’ll need to separate the eggs and whip the egg whites for several minutes until they are stiff. This creates the ideal texture that keeps you craving more. And the lemon zest, lemon extract, and lemon juice will add that freshly squeezed “lemonade” taste.
This breakfast recipe will be the perfect addition to your rise & shine menu so give these Blueberry Lemonade Belgian Waffles a try when you want a change in your waffle game. These waffles are a hit with the kids too and will make a great centerpiece for weekend brunches at home.
