Lemon Belgian Waffles with Blueberry Syrup {Spring Brunch Week}

It is Spring Brunch week here at Real Mom Kitchen.  This is a week that I now look forward to each year.  I love breakfast and at this time of year, I am just dying for Spring.  Even if it isn’t looking like Spring outside, it can taste like Spring in the kitchen. Just like with these lucious Lemon Belgian Waffles with Blueberry Syrup. Plus, it gets me excited for actual arrival of Spring with it’s beautiful weather.

We are beginning this spring brunch week with one of my most favorite breakfast foods – waffles. These waffles get a nice Spring makeover with the addition of some bright and sunny lemon juice and lemon zest.  I just love the fresh flavor that lemon adds to any recipe. It tastes like a burst of sunshine in my mouth.

My favorite way to eat waffles is topped with some kind of fruit topping and sweetened whipped cream. These lemon Belgian waffles get topped with a yummy homemade blueberry syrup.  Blueberries are one of those fruits that accompany the flavor of lemon so well. I prefer to make the syrup with fresh blueberries. However, you can use frozen can too.
