I love waking up and fixing special breakfasts on Saturday mornings. During the week my husband and son are usually in a hurry so we don’t get to sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast together. My husband usually does his own oatmeal or eggs and my son either skips breakfast or will grab a toaster strudel a couple of minutes before he leaves…unhealthy, I know. You know what they say about picking your battles, right? Anyway, this morning I woke up craving waffles and bacon. Not just any waffles either. Gluten-free, dairy-free, waffles with blueberries and chocolate chips, lots of dairy free butter and pure maple syrup. Certainly enough energy to get my engine jump started for dog walking and the morning chores ahead of me.

Blueberry Chocolate Chip Waffles

1 2/3 Cup Mama’s Pancake Mix

3 Eggs, separated

1 Cup Dairy-Free Milk

Fresh or Frozen Blueberries

Dairy-Free Miniature Chocolate Chips (I use Enjoy Life)

Dairy-Free Butter (I use Soy Free Earth Balance)

Pure Maple Syrup

Follow the waffle directions on the back of the Mama’s Pancake Mix bag.

Pre-heat waffle iron. Gently stir about 1 1/2 cups blueberries into waffle battle. Pour onto waffle iron as per the instructions on your specific iron. When waffle is done, add butter, sprinkle with chocolate chips and drizzle with syrup.
