- In a large bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Heat your waffle press, spray with cooking spray if needed, and spoon in batter. Cook for 4-5 minutes . (*May vary depending on waffle press)
- To make the blueberry compote, heat blueberries, water, and maple syrup in a small pot on medium heat for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in chia seeds and allow to simmer for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and top on the waffles.
How much water do you use in the compote? Thx!
Hi Melanie, I don’t add any water to the compote!
The waffles were so delicious! I happened to have some lemon sorbet on hand that went very well with the blueberry compote to make waffle sundaes 🙂
So happy you enjoyed them!
Hi Jess! I was just wondering, how many blueberries and chia seeds should I use for the compote? I’m going to make this tomorrow for breakfast for my mom. I love cooking even though I’m only 11. Your blog is sooooo amazing and it has inspired me to eat healthier(I only eat refined sugar on the weekends now) and I really want to travel to all the exotic places you go to when I grow up. Thanks!
Hi Natalie! You want to use about 1 cup of blueberries to 1 tbsp chia seeds. If your blueberries are more liquidy and juicy you can add an extra 1-2 tsp of chia seeds to thicken it up. (Likewise you can add an extra 1/4 cup of blueberries if it is too thick!) I’m so happy you’re enjoying the blog and the recipes! I hope you enjoy them and get a chance to travel one day too!
