Instructions

Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat eggs thoroughly. Add room temperature buttermilk and the scraped seeds from the vanilla bean pod, whisking to combine.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; the batter should still have some small lumps.
Fold in the fresh blueberries carefully to avoid crushing.
Stir the melted butter into the batter just before cooking.
Lightly grease the waffle iron.
Pour about 2/3 cup (160 ml) of batter per waffle and cook until golden and crisp, about 4-6 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
Remove waffles and keep warm on a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve warm with maple syrup or a homemade vanilla whipped cream topping for extra vanilla flavor.

Tips

Use a whole vanilla bean and scrape the seeds into the batter for an authentic vanilla flavor instead of extract.
Gently fold in blueberries at the end to keep them intact and evenly distributed.
