These classic paleo blueberry waffles are crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, freezable, and family approved! They’re gluten free, grain free, dairy free, refined sugar free, and easy to make.
Waffles are totally nostalgic for me and I’m sure for so many of you too!
There was a time as a kid when I popped toaster waffles twice a day – once for breakfast and again for a second dinner (or dessert!)
Crispy waffles with melty butter and maple syrup? Absolutely heavenly. I’ll take them anytime!
And luckily you’re in for a treat here, because you can FREEZE these waffles so you don’t have to do the work every time you’re craving them! I’ll explain how to freeze and reheat below 🙂
What You Need to Make Paleo Blueberry Waffles
First, let’s see what we need to prepare these waffles. All ingredients are pretty standard for paleo baking so you likely have most of them already:
- large eggs
- almond milk, or light coconut milk
- coconut oil, refined
- pure maple syrup
- pure vanilla extract
- blanched almond flour
- tapioca flour
- baking soda
- aluminum free baking powder
- fine sea salt
- fresh blueberries
How to Make Paleo Blueberry Waffles
First, in a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients stir until well combined.
Place the egg whites in a large mixing bowl beat on high speed with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the batter to combine, then fold in the blueberries.
Heat your waffle iron and brush it well with coconut oil or spray with avocado oil or coconut oil cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the center of iron, gently spreading just a bit before closing.
Cook waffles according to your waffle iron’s instructions. This recipe will make about 6 servings, but may vary depending on your iron.
How to Freeze Paleo Blueberry Waffles
I love that you can freeze these waffles so you can make them ahead of time for the week!
After cooking them in the waffle iron, allow them to cool slightly.
Freeze in single layers separated by a sheet of parchment paper in a large plastic bag or wrapped in plastic or freezer paper.
To reheat, you can toast them in a toaster oven or pop-up toaster until heated through and crisp. Then top with goodies and enjoy!
Perfect Paleo Waffle Toppings
I love topping these blueberry waffles with a little melted ghee or vegan butter and extra maple syrup. So classic!
Or try almond butter, maple syrup and extra berries, coconut yogurt or whipped cream, and chopped nuts. You can’t go wrong!
I can’t wait for you to try these paleo blueberry waffles! Grab your ingredients and your waffle iron because it’s time for breakfast – let’s go!

Recipe Notes
*You can freeze the cooked waffles and toast them in a toaster, toaster oven, or regular oven if you want to make these ahead of time. Freeze in single layers separated by a sheet of parchment paper.
**I’ve made these waffles with and without separating the egg whites and yolks, and the difference in texture is fairly minimal if you choose not to separate the eggs and beat the whites. If not separating, simply whisk together the whole eggs with the wet ingredients.

omgsh, i was just saying that i want to get better at my waffle game. i may just have these for dinner tonight! hahah
Will frozen blueberries work as well?
Does this recipe convert for pancakes?
The blueberry waffles are delicious. The paleo bread is pretty good too (temember: it is just not fair to compare with it to the taste of flour -yeast rising bread that is homemade, but it is a good replacement for grain free bread.
Omg i have tried the receipe and the bread is definitely delicious, can’t wait to make it at Avenue South Residence
Is it possible to use a flax egg instead of a regular egg? Thanks! 🙂
These waffles are absolutely amazing! My family is crazy about them! I always double the recipe so we can eat them for a few days and everyone is always disappointed when they’re gone! I’ve been using arrowroot flour in place of the tapioca because that’s what I have on hand. Thank you for sharing!
My kids loved these waffles!
These were SO good. Oh my gosh. I did whip the egg whites because I do find the slight difference in texture worth it in my opinion! To get my eggs to room temp right away i just ran them under “shower” temp water for 2 mins. I did a soft melt of my coconut oil in the microwave and swished the rest of the lumps in to combine it and it got to room temp quite quickly.
I also added a scoop of Vanilla protein (1/4C in place of a 1/4 almond flour) and they turned out really really good.
I didn’t have any blueberries (took them out and they had molded 🙁 ) but great even without! Can’t wait to make them when I have fruit again!
Thank you so much!
I have made this recipe and they are very good. I do not put blueberries in them. Could I use walnut milk instead of almond milk in these?
Magnificent recipe ! I would like to apprentice while you amend your web site, how can i subscribe for a blog website?… cbd cream
It’s almost impossible to find well-advised men or women on this content, even though you come across as like you fully understand the things you’re covering! Excellent Fresh Bros
these waffles were a hit with my non-Paleo family.! They are crispy and so good. I did use dried blueberries the second time I made them instead of fresh blueberries so my waffle iron didn’t get so sticky.
The best paleo waffles I’ve ever had!!
My husband loves waffles and I wasn’t sure he would stray far from my old fashioned homemade recipe. I made these and he loved them! So now I can have waffles and satisfy his waffle craving too. A big win

Thank you for sharing this great breakfast waffle recipe with us. It seems to me that it just tastes delicious and every sweet tooth should try it. How can food be beautiful, tasty, and cooked with your own hands? It seems to me that this is one of those options when it’s just three in one. I want to cook these waffles for my wife and just see her reaction when she wakes up and she has such a wonderful and healthy breakfast waiting for her. I think this will be a great start to the day.

This was amazing!! So delicious- some of my favorite homemade waffles ever.
Excellent. Thank you so much for the recipe. I have made many others in the past. Nearly all are equally excellent.
Paleo recipes typically focus on using ingredients that are grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, and free from refined sugar. These waffles are described as crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and suitable for a paleo-friendly diet.
These were so good! I had to use arrowroot flour instead of tapioca because it’s all I had and they turned out great. I also snuck in a scoop of protein powder. Perfect! Your recipes never disappoint!
This article was very insightful. Thanks for the great content!
