Guest blog and recipe by Carolina @healthyliciousworld.

Waffles have a way of making us pause, don’t they? There’s something comforting about them. The golden crisp edges, the warm fluffy center, the way they feel like a little celebration on your plate. Maybe you’ve had mornings where you’ve wanted something cozy and delicious but also wished it could actually leave you feeling energized instead of weighed down.

That’s where these Gut-Loving Blueberry Waffles come in. They’re not just another breakfast recipe. They’re a way of showing yourself care. Choosing ingredients that love your body back, while still giving you that same comfort-food joy. They’re gluten-free, naturally sweetened, and made with spore-based probiotics from Just Thrive to support your gut health in a way that’s simple, real, and actually enjoyable.

Because eating well doesn’t have to feel like sacrifice. It can feel like a treat.

Why You’ll Love These Waffles

When you’re trying to eat healthier, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to give up comfort foods—you just need a version that works for you, not against you. These waffles were made for those of us who want both.

They are:

  • Gluten-Free & Naturally Sweetened - made with wholesome flours and maple syrup instead of refined sugar
  • Packed with Nourishing Ingredients - like pasture-raised eggs, grass-fed butter, and cinnamon
  • Bursting with Blueberries - full of antioxidants and natural sweetness
  • Gut-Supportive - thanks to spore-based probiotics that actually survive and thrive in your gut

Imagine starting your morning with something that not only tastes amazing but also leaves you feeling good afterward. That’s what these waffles are all about.

The Gut-Friendly Benefits of These Ingredients

When you know why your ingredients matter, eating them feels that much more satisfying.

  • Gluten-Free Oat Flour - a wholesome flour naturally rich in fiber

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with oil or melted butter. This step makes sure the waffles release easily and get that crisp golden edge.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients: oat flour, arrowroot, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, vanilla powder, and the contents of your probiotic capsule. Mixing well here makes sure every bite is full of flavor and goodness.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together your wet ingredients: eggs, milk, melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla (if you don’t have powder, you can use pure vanilla extract).
  4. Slowly pour the dry mixture into the wet, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix! Waffles love a gentle hand, and this is what makes them fluffy.
  5. Let the batter rest for 10 to 15 minutes. This little pause allows the flours to hydrate and makes the waffles even better—crispy on the outside, tender inside.
  6. Now for the blueberries, you have two options. Option one: For waffles studded with bursts of berry flavor in every bite, gently fold the blueberries into the batter before cooking. Option two: Pour the batter into the waffle iron first, then scatter blueberries on top before closing the lid. This creates those juicy blueberry “pockets” that caramelize slightly as they cook. You could try both ways to see which you like better.
  7. When your waffle iron is ready, cook until the waffles are golden brown. The smell alone will tell you it’s time.
  8. Remove carefully and serve warm. Top with grass-fed butter, fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup or all three for the ultimate breakfast.
