Lemon Poppy Seed Waffles with lemon whipped cream and fresh blackberries make a wonderful breakfast or brunch.

Josh makes waffles almost every Sunday morning. We usually cook together, but on Sunday, Josh likes to take control of the kitchen and make breakfast for the family. I never complain because I get to snuggle with the boys and get spoiled with a delicious breakfast. Josh recently made Lemon Poppy Seed Waffles with lemon whipped cream and fresh blackberries for waffle Sunday and they were such a treat!


Lemon Poppy Seed Waffles with lemon whipped cream and fresh blackberries are a family favorite breakfast!

The boys would be fine with regular waffles every week, but Josh knows I like to mix things up so sometimes he surprises us with “special” waffles. My lemon poppy seed cookies are one of our Josh’s favorite cookies, he devours them every time I make them. He used my cookies as inspiration to make Lemon Poppy Seed Waffles. Good call on Josh’s end because the waffles were amazing!

The waffles are soft, tender, and crispy on the outside. The burst of lemon with poppy seeds in every bite will WOW you! The lemon poppy seed is combo is classic and so good in waffle form.

Lemon Poppy Seed Waffles with lemon whipped cream makes a great weekend brunch!

Our boys insist on having whipped cream with waffles so Josh whipped up lemon whipped cream to dollop on top of the waffles. Josh decorated the waffles with fresh blackberries and we all went to town on our weekend waffles. They were wonderful!

If you are looking for a special breakfast recipe, I highly suggest you make Lemon Poppy Seed Waffles with lemon whipped cream. They are perfect for weekend breakfast or brunch. You can also enjoy them during the week. Josh put a few waffles in the freezer so we can enjoy them during the week with no fuss. We reheat them in the toaster and have warm and delicious waffles in minutes! FYI-this is our all-time favorite waffle maker.

    This was great! ย Made it this morning. ย I used lemon extract instead of vanilla extract.
    Glad recipe had wheat and white flour.

  8. These look great. I love anything with and poppyseeds. Could I use all purpose flour for the entire batch of waffles?

    The texture is light & fluffy on the inside & slightly crispy on the outside. The lemon flavor really comes through!
