Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine self-rising flour, eggs, milk, and oil in a bowl; mix well.
- Cook the batter in a waffle iron until golden brown.
- Place one waffle on a plate.
- Add a heaping tablespoon of blueberry pie filling, a heaping teaspoon of Cool Whip, and a pat of butter on top.

Tips & Substitutions
For lighter waffles, you can substitute half of the milk with buttermilk or yogurt. If you don’t have self-rising flour, combine all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt in a 2:1:1 ratio. Make sure your waffle iron is preheated for even cooking. Experiment with toppings like fresh berries or maple syrup to complement the blueberry flavor.
Serving Suggestions

Consider adding fresh fruit or a drizzle of honey for added flavor. For a delightful twist, serve with a scoop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them between layers of parchment paper and place in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. To reheat, simply pop them in a toaster or oven until warmed through and crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh blueberries instead of pie filling?
Yes, you can substitute fresh blueberries for the pie filling. Simply fold in 1-2 cups of fresh blueberries into the batter before cooking. This will give you a more natural flavor and texture. You can also add a bit of sugar if you prefer a sweeter taste.
Is it possible to make these waffles vegan?
Absolutely! To make vegan blueberry waffles, substitute eggs with flaxseed meal or applesauce. Use a non-dairy milk such as almond or oat milk, and replace the oil with melted coconut oil or a vegan butter alternative. You can also omit the Cool Whip or use a vegan whipped topping.
How can I make these waffles gluten-free?
To make gluten-free blueberry waffles, swap the self-rising flour for a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that the baking powder you use is gluten-free as well. You may need to adjust the liquid slightly, as gluten-free flours can absorb moisture differently.
