Combine blueberries and maple syrup in a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, and cook until reduced to a generous 1 cup, about 12 minutes. If making ahead of time, reheat the syrup before serving.
The Waffles:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and ginger. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, milk, maple syrup, vanilla and oil. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir just until smooth. Stir in blueberries.
