This stack is a brunch lover’s dream; light, crisp waffles, fluffy pancakes, and a tangy-sweet blueberry chia jam layered beautifully. Each bite delivers a burst of freshness from the jam and richness from the buttery pancakes. It’s not just visually stunning but also nutrient-rich, offering many health benefits in every forkful.
Add blueberries, water, and maple syrup to a saucepan. Cook on medium heat for 5–7 minutes until the berries burst and release their juices. Mash slightly for texture, then stir in lemon juice and chia seeds. Let it simmer for 2 minutes, then cool. The chia will naturally thicken the jam.

Prepare the Pancake Batter
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, combine milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix the wet and dry ingredients gently until smooth. Rest for 5 minutes to let the gluten relax, giving softer pancakes.

Cook the Pancakes
Preheat a non-stick pan and grease lightly with butter. Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 1½–2 minutes until bubbles form, flip, and cook another minute until golden. Keep them warm under foil or in a low oven.

Prepare the Waffle Batter
In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another, whisk milk, egg, butter, and vanilla. Combine the two until you get a smooth batter, slightly thicker than pancake consistency. Avoid overmixing to retain airiness.

Cook the Waffles
Preheat your waffle iron and brush it with butter. Pour about ½ cup batter per waffle and cook for 4–5 minutes until crisp and golden on the outside and soft inside. Remove carefully and keep warm while you assemble.
