Ingredients
  

For the Waffles:
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.75 cups milk
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Beanilla vanilla paste
For the Blueberry Sauce:
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 0.5 cup orange juice
  • 0.25 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 1.5 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 0.25 teaspoon almond extract

Equipment

  • Waffle maker
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Saucepan
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Waffle Batter - Start by preheating your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, vegetable oil, and Beanilla vanilla paste. Mix until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Combine the Mixtures - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are perfectly fine, and they will create a fluffy texture in your waffles.
  3. Step 3: Cook the Waffles - Once your waffle maker is hot, lightly grease it with a bit of oil or cooking spray. Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the waffle maker (usually about ¾ cup, but check your machine’s instructions). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Make the Homemade Blueberry Sauce - While the waffles are cooking, it’s time to prepare the blueberry sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, 2 tablespoons of water, and orange juice over medium heat. Stir gently and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Step 5: Thicken the Sauce - In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of cold water with the cornstarch. Once the blueberry mixture is simmering, stir in the cornstarch mixture. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the almond extract for an added layer of flavor.
  6. Step 6: Serve and Enjoy - Once your waffles are ready, stack them on a plate and generously drizzle the homemade blueberry sauce over them. You can also add whipped cream, fresh blueberries, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra flair. Enjoy your delicious Vanilla Bean Waffles With Homemade Blueberry Sauce!
