A stack of lemon waffles topped with blueberry syrup, blueberries, butter and lemon zest.

Homemade Lemon Waffles with Blueberry Maple Syrup

These fluffy waffles are flavored with both fresh lemon juice and lemon zest. The zingy lemon flavor pairs perfectly with the sweet blueberry syrup that you will drizzle over the top. And lots not forget the butter! All waffles need a generously sized pad of butter to melt into and mix with the waffles and syrup!
