Homemade Belgian Waffles topped with fresh triple berry sauce. A delicious and decadent brunch recipe to make your weekends special!
My obsession with kitchen gadgets is borderline dangerous. I don’t know if it’s because I am food blogger or because I just want to get everything in my kitchen, whatever it is the fact is that my kitchen and pantry are overflowing with them. I get stuff, put them in the pantry and don’t even open them for like months! It’s not that I don’t want to but it’s just that I have so many of them, that I forget the ones that are not in front of my eyes. For example, I got this waffle maker in the beginning of this year. Being a food blogger, I obviously wanted a waffle maker however once I bought it, I just kept it in my pantry and forgot all about it.
This year has been a bit busy and tough due to some personal reasons so that’s there too but honestly it just slipped out of my mind. Around 2 weeks back, I noticed this waffle maker tucked in one of the corners in my pantry. And it was then that I realized that I need to use it and so I ended up making these Belgian Waffles. And since it’s berry season, I had to top them with a berry sauce. I got lot of berries from my local farmer’s market, they were super ripe and really great in this berry sauce.
I researched a bit for belgian waffle recipes and most of them called for separating the eggs. Now there was this recipe which came with my waffle maker, it sounded super simple and so I adapted my recipe from it. I have to say the results were really good. The recipe is straight forward, no complex steps and waffles are crisp from outside and tender from inside. These homemade belgian waffles are perfect for weekend brunch or just about any day when you feel like eating something fancy. Hope you guys like it!
Method
First make the triple berry sauce. Begin by heating berries with 1 tablespoon water and granulated white sugar in a pan on medium heat. Stir till the sugar melts and dissolves completely, around 2-3 minutes.
In a bowl, mix together fresh lemon juice and cornstarch. Add the cornstarch liquid to the berry sauce and cook for another 3-4 minutes or till the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside until ready to use.
In a bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In another whisk together eggs, vanilla extract, butter and milk. Meanwhile pre-heat oven to 200 F degrees.
Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Mix till just combined.
Pour 3/4 – 1 cup batter per waffle and cook till golden brown [according to instructions on your waffle maker, around 4-5 minutes].
Place the prepared waffle in 200 F degree pre-heated oven to crisp up while you make the other waffles. Repeat till the batter is finished, I got 4 waffles out of this batter. Place all waffles in a single layer to crisp up in the oven before serving. Top the belgian waffles with triple berry sauce, sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy.
* Adjust the sweetness of the berry sauce to taste. The berries I used were really sweet so 1/3 cup of sugar was good enough. If the berries you are using are not sweet enough, you may add up to 1/2 cup of sugar.

Belgian Waffles with Triple Berry Sauce
Hi Manali
Can you give an eggless version of this waffle
Thanks in advance 😊
when I make again then I will try to update
Hi Manali,
Tried this receipe and it was really great.
Can i use wholewheat flour instead of all purpose?? Will the final outcome be different?
you can try but the texture will be little dense, won’t be as light as the ones made with all purpose flour
Hi Manali, I find your recipes to be perfect. Thanks for such detailed information
For this waffle – two questions
1) Can I use whole wheat flour?
2) Can I use olive oil or any oil instead of butter?
whole wheat flour can be used, will just make them little dense and not as light as the one made with all purpose flour. Oil can be used,yes, I like the button flavor more
Can the triple berry sauce be made the night before? How would you reheat it in the morning?
sure why not
Please send me the recipe
which recipe? the recipe is right there

My husband is always saying, “do we REALLY need this?” and of course my answer is always, “ummm ABSOLUTELY”. hahaha. Waffles are one of my favorite things to make for Sunday Brunch and these look fabulous! LOVING that triple berry sauce! SO GOOD! Cheers, friend!
haha yes absolutely we always need everything! Thanks Cheyanne!
I have a pasta machine that I got well over a year ago and haven’t used it yet! These waffles look so delicious with the berries and powdered sugar — what a special breakfast!
I know what you mean!! I keep getting these stuff I never use! :/ Thanks Marcie!
I know what you mean about the kitchen gadgets, girlfriend! I bought a waffle iron about a year ago and have used it exactly 4 times. Your waffles certain do look delicious! Those photos of the berries and falling sugar are absolutely beautiful! Pinned!
I know right? We can never have enough! Thank you Rachelle!
I’m sorry you’ve had a tough year, Manali! Hopefully all the kitchen gadgets will help brighten things up. I know these waffles are looking pretty amazing!
Thanks Mir! I hope things get better.

My kids request waffles more than any other breakfast item. They’d love this berry sauce!
I am sure they would!
I’m right there with you with your gadget obsession. My kitchen is out of control and all the cabinets are full! lol And I also don’t use my waffle maker nearly enough. Need to use it more often! I love the idea of a berry sauce. 🙂
I know! #foodbloggerproblems Thanks Olivia!
These waffles sound amazing, Manali! I love the fresh berries on top. And waffles are the best weekend breakfast EVER! Next time, try adding some pearl sugar in the batter. You might have to order it (it’s kinda hard to find), but it’s amazing in Belgian/Liege waffles! Great recipe, my West Coast friend! 🙂
Ooo thanks for the suggestion David, will definitely get pearl sugar next time I make waffles! 🙂
Yum amazing recipe and pics
Thank you
Oh mah gosh, you win at Monday waffles, Manali! I mean, these are completely GORGEOUS. I love how high and fluffy they are, all that berry sauce, and obviously that pretty powdered sugar on top! NEED.
Thank you Sarah!
These are gorgeous waffles, Manali! You are reminding me that it’s been forever since I’ve made my own waffles. Love the berry sauce that you added on top!
Thanks Gayle!
My family are from Belgium, so I am a bit of a waffle expert and these look perfect. I love the sound of the triple berry sauce, as you can never have too many berries.
Thank you Dannii! Not sure about them being authentic but they were delicious 🙂
The recipe is fantastic as always, well done Manali, picture perfect and drool-worthy. Pinning 🙂
Thanks Puja!
