Blueberry Lemon Waffle Pops
Equipment
- Waffle iron
- wire rack
Ingredients
For the Waffles:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
For the Lemon Glaze:
- 1-2 tbsp water
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- purple food coloring
- yellow food coloring
For Assembly:
- Lollipop or popsicle sticks
Instructions
Mix the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, oil (or melted butter), and lemon zest until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix.
Cook the Waffles:
- Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions.
- Lightly grease it with non-stick spray or melted butter, if necessary.
- Spoon enough batter to cover the iron’s surface, close the lid, and cook until golden brown and fully cooked; typically about 4–5 minutes.
Cool and Shape:
- Transfer waffles to a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Once they’ve cooled enough to handle, cut them into squares or your preferred shapes.
- Carefully insert a popsicle stick into each piece. (If preferred, you can insert sticks during cooking; just be cautious of hot surfaces.)
Make the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar with lemon juice and a little water until smooth and pourable.
- Split the glaze into two bowls, tinting one with yellow food coloring and the other with purple. Stir until the colors are fully blended.
Decorate the Pops:
- Dip each waffle pop into the glaze or drizzle both colors over the tops for a vibrant finish. Make sure they’re well coated.
Serve:
- Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes, then enjoy your cheerful and tangy Blueberry Lemon Waffle Pops! These are delicious served warm or chilled.
Notes
- Want an extra flavor boost? Try mixing in a dash of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla to the batter.
- Using frozen blueberries? Toss them in frozen (no need to thaw) to help keep the batter from turning purple.
