These vegan blueberry waffles are light and fluffy and packed with fresh blueberries. Perfect for lazy weekend breakfasts with family.
These vegan blueberry waffles are seriously the best ever. They are so delicious that you can just grab one and eat it just like that, it doesn’t even need to be topped with anything.
Of course, if you DO top it with some vegan butter and powdered sugar and drizzle on some syrup it’s even better!
My love for waffles goes way back. Back to when I was a teenager working part time in an ice cream parlour and got introduced to (and fell in love with) waffles.
Both Jaye and I remember the days when ice cream parlours were pretty much the only place you got waffles. It wasn’t like you bought them ready-made or as if private homes tended to have waffle makers. At least it was like that when we grew up.
So having a waffle maker at home and being able to make delicious homemade waffles whenever you like is so fantastic!
And these vegan blueberry waffles are SO easy to make too.

Ingredients You’ll Need:
Ingredient Notes
- Fresh blueberries – we used fresh blueberries but frozen will also work great. If you’re using frozen blueberries then you can use them straight from frozen, there is no need to thaw them first.
- Coconut oil – should be melted first. You can also use a different oil or melted vegan butter if you prefer.
- Soy milk – can be replaced with a different non-dairy milk.
How To Make Vegan Blueberry Waffles
You will find full instructions and measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a summary of the process to go along with the process photos.
- Sift all purpose flour into a mixing bowl and add baking powder, sugar and salt. Mix together.
- Add soy milk, melted coconut oil and vanilla extract and mix into a batter. Don’t overmix.
- Add the blueberries and mix in.
- Pour even amounts of batter into the waffle machine and close the machine.
- Let it cook for 3-5 minutes until the waffles are golden and crispy.
Chef’s Tips
Don’t overmix the batter. If you overmix the batter you can make the waffles dense and chewy. For light and fluffy waffles don’t overmix.
Grease your waffle maker so the waffles don’t stick. You can lightly grease it with coconut oil or any oil or spray it with non-stick spray. We tend to use non-stick spray but some waffle irons recommend against that so check your waffle manufacturer instructions.
Don’t open the waffle iron too early. When you want to check on them to see if they’re cooked, wait at least a few minutes first. If you open the machine too early you can ruin your waffles. The best way to know that a waffle is done is when steam has stopped coming out of the sides of the machine. When you start cooking the waffles steam will pour out of the machine. Wait until the steam has died down before opening the machine to check on them.
Recipe FAQ
Frozen blueberries are perfect to use in these waffles. You don’t even need to thaw them first.
Keep leftover waffles stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the toaster or microwave. If you need to store them any longer than this, then freeze them.
They freeze extremely well. Let them cool completely and then freeze them in a freezer safe bag. Reheat in the toaster.

Awesome! Thanks Emma!
Happy holidays! I make this all the time and we loved it! I used Bob red mill gluten free and works perfectly. I was wondering if you think diced small pieces of apples will work too?
Sure! Sliced apples should work great!
Can I make them gluten free?
Hi Sylvia, I think a gluten-free all purpose flour blend would work well!
Hi and happy holidays!
Looking for blueberries substitute as a variation. Any suggestions?
This waffles are amazing!
Hi Sylvia, sure I think you could use raspberries or sliced strawberries too!
I loved this recipe, very delicious.
muy rico, me encantan los waffles con arandanos
Delicious and simple! I’ve made these waffles at least 10 times, so thought I should leave it the 5 stars it deserves!
Thanks so much Ashley!
Could I use vegan butter instead of coconut oil?
Hi Camille, I think you could! All the best! 🙂
Thank you for making a vegan recipe that uses everyday ingredients and not expensive substitutes! These were super easy and yummy!
You’re so welcome and I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks so much for the wonderful rating. 🙂
Awesome Recipes!
Thanks Sharon! 🙂
Hello! These look so yum. Will this recipe work in a waffle mold in the oven?
Thanks!
Hi Sam, that’s not something I’ve ever tried, but if it usually works with other waffle recipes then it should work fine for this one too. 🙂
I am glad to have stumbled onto your site. Even though I am no Vegan, I am eager to try out most of your gluten-free and vegan recipes. These were good! I left out the corn starch and used 1 cup oats and 1 1/2 cups of flour, and added a teaspoon of vanilla extract. I also used frozen blueberries, so I folded them into the batter before making the waffles. Simply scrumptious breakfast! Thank you for the opportunity and best wishes to you & your loved ones as well as to all your readers.
Awesome, so glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Simply scrumptious breakfast!
