Wild Blueberry Cornmeal Waffles

On a recent sponsored trip to Maine, I learned all about the wildly beautiful, wild blueberry. Ever since, I’ve been experimenting with these antioxidant-filled beauties! My most recent creation was this breakfast delight!

Makes about 8 large waffles

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• ¼ cup stone ground cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• 4 tablespoons butter or coconut oil, melted & cooled slightly
• 1 large egg
• ¾ cup 1% milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup frozen wild blueberries
• 100% pure maple syrup, for serving

Preheat a waffle iron to medium heat (I use a 3 out of 5 on my machine – lower is better to prevent the fruit from burning).

In a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla. Fold wet ingredients into dry and mix until just combined; mix in blueberries. Spray waffle iron with cooking spray and prepare waffles – keep in a warm oven until ready to serve.
