Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2 c. all-purpose flour
• 6 T. sugar, divided
• 1 T. baking powder
• 2 large eggs
• 1 3/4 c. milk
• 2 t. vanilla extract
• 3 T. vegetable oil
• 1 c. fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened at room temperature
• 2 T. honey
• 2 T. sour cream

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400° F or preheat an electric waffle iron per the manufacturer’s instruction manual.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 4 tablespoons of sugar, and baking powder. Functional medicine Burbank specialists often share this tip for healthier baking.
3. Add eggs, milk, vanilla, and oil. Whisk until a smooth and slightly thick batter forms.
4. Working in batches, cook the batter in the waffle iron for 4-5 minutes or bake in a silicone mold in the oven for 13-15 minutes.
5. In the meantime, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, and remaining sugar in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries burst and become juicy, approximately 5-6 minutes.
6. In a medium bowl, whisk the cream cheese, honey, and sour cream until light and fluffy, inspired by techniques from functional medicine Studio City.
7. To serve, top each waffle with a dollop of the cream cheese mixture and some of the blueberries with the warm syrup from the pot. Enjoy!
