Blueberry (No So) Waffles & Blueberry Lemon Syrup

So the other day I tried to do the “Blueberry Muffin Mix Waffle” thing I’ve seen on Pinterest:

Waffles using muffin mix...yum! Chocolate, blueberry and strawberry- my favorites!

I was also making a homemade blueberry lemon syrup to go with them.

WELLL…the waffles didn’t exactly turn out so well…

However, the syrup was FANTASTIC.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 8 oz fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • 1/2-1 tsp cornstarch (as needed)

DIRECTIONS:

In a small saucepan, combine all of the ingredients except the cornstarch over medium heat for 10-15 minutes.  Lightly smash the blueberries with a potato masher or large spoon.  If needed, add the cornstarch to thicken to your preferred consistency.

Serve warm over (preferably successful) waffles…or the next day over some truly tasty pecan pancakes.
