Mix, cook, and serve with blueberries and syrup for the best pancakes
  • 1. Prepare the batter. In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together wet ingredients, then combine both mixtures until smooth.
  • 2. Add the blueberries. Gently fold fresh blueberries into the pancake batter.
  • 3. Cook the pancakes. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • 4. Serve. Stack the pancakes and top with fresh blueberries, syrup, and powdered sugar.

Tips for Perfect Blueberry Pancakes

  • Don’t overmix the batter: Stir just until combined; lumps are fine.
  • Use fresh blueberries: Frozen blueberries can make the pancakes soggy.
  • Don’t press the pancakes while cooking: Let them cook undisturbed for the fluffiest texture.
  • Adjust heat: If the skillet is too hot, the pancakes may burn before they cook through.

Variations & Substitutions

  • Extra flavor: Add a touch of vanilla extract or cinnamon to the batter.
  • Add-ins: Try adding chocolate chips or nuts along with the blueberries.
  • Gluten-free: Use a gluten-free flour blend to make these pancakes gluten-free.
  • Vegan: Substitute eggs with flax eggs and use almond milk and vegan butter.

Make-Ahead & Freezing

  • Fridge: Store leftover pancakes in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Freeze: Freeze pancakes with parchment paper between them for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
  • Pair with crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast.
  • Top with extra fruit or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
