Waffle Batter

Blueberry Chia Jam

Topping

Method

Waffle Batter

  1. 1

    Prepare the Yeast

    In a small bowl, warm the milk until it is lukewarm (about 110°F). Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the milk and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and add the vanilla extract. Once the yeast mixture is frothy, combine it with the egg mixture and melted butter.

  4. 4

    Combine Both Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the pearl sugar.

  5. 5

    Let the Batter Rise

    Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Blueberry Chia Jam

  1. 6

    Cook the Blueberries

    In a saucepan over medium heat, add the blueberries and cook until they start to break down, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 7

    Add Chia Seeds and Sweetener

    Stir in the chia seeds, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon juice. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens.

  3. 8

    Cool the Jam

    Remove from heat and allow to cool before transferring to a jar. The jam will thicken further as it cools.

Cooking the Waffles

  1. 9

    Preheat the Waffle Iron

    Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  2. 10

    Cook the Waffles

    Once the waffle iron is hot, pour an appropriate amount of batter into the iron (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your waffle iron size). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes.

  3. 11

    Serve the Waffles

    Remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately, topped with blueberry chia jam and a dusting of powdered sugar.
