Last month when Eric and I visited his Dad in Michigan we went blueberry picking and ended up with loads of berries to bring home.  I ate a bunch right away, but froze about half for using later, since I always like to have frozen fruit on hand for recipes.  I have been wanting to make waffles with some of them ever since I got back because blueberry waffles used to be something I enjoyed when I was younger.Even if they were the frozen kind.  I figured I could make a way better version now! I finally got around to it on my day off earlier this week.  Waffles just sounded good.The funny thing is, I never actually make them for breakfast, usually just for a snack, or dessert, or even dinner.

My Mom used to sometimes make pancakes or waffles for dinner when I was little and I always thought that was awesome.So I made these in the late afternoon to enjoy.  I wasn't exactly sure how they would come out since I used frozen and thawed berries, but they were a success! I made a vanilla scented waffle batter and used coconut milk since it tends to be a little richer to help the waffles get that nice crunch on the outside.Plus a touch of avocado oil to give them that buttery flavor.

If you wanted to make them oil free, you could just leave it out, but then use full fat coconut milk (in its liquid state mixed well)
