Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionBring lemon zest, sugar, and ⅔ cup water to a boil in a heavy medium saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Cook (do not stir) until a thin syrup forms, 6–8 minutes.
Add blueberries and bring to a simmer.
Reduce heat to medium; cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes.
Transfer 2 Tbsp. syrup to a small bowl, add cornstarch, and stir until smooth.
Add back to syrup; simmer until thickened, about 1 minute.
Remove from heat.
Fish out lemon zest and discard.
Squeeze in lemon juice to taste and let cool slightly.
Whisk flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
Make a well in the center and add yogurt, then melted butter, then egg to well.
Using a fork, stir together wet ingredients, then mix, incorporating dry ingredients a little at a time, until a lumpy batter forms.
Heat waffle iron on medium-low.
Lightly coat with nonstick spray and pour a heaping ½ cup batter onto iron (or up to 2 cups if using a larger one).
Cook until waffles are golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. (Keep warm on a baking sheet in a 300° oven if desired.) Repeat with remaining batter, coating iron with more nonstick spray as needed.
Serve with butter and warm syrup.
