Apply oil, cooking spray, or melted butter to the waffle maker to keep the mini waffles from sticking. When cooking, some blueberries may burst and stick to the waffle maker. Using cooking spray or oil will make it easier to remove them.
Pre-heat the waffle maker until the iron is hot enough. When the iron is heated properly, it will make waffles that are crunchy on the outside.
