Why You’ll Love These Blueberry Pancakes!

• Sweet, juicy blueberries burst in your mouth with every mouthful.
• These pancakes are light, fluffy and a yummy way to start your day.
• All you need are pantry staples to whip up this homemade pancake batter – no special ingredients needed.

Ingredients for Blueberry Pancakes

• Flour – All-purpose flour is the only type of flour we have tested in this recipe.
• Baking powder – Makes pancakes light and fluffy and gives them their lift. Make sure it’s aluminum free.
• Sugar – You don’t want your batter too sweet, but a little bit of sugar will help to perfectly sweeten these pancakes.
• Salt – A little bit of salt will help round out the flavor, feel free to reduce or skip this if you are using salted butter.
• Egg – Helps combine the ingredients and gives the pancakes structure.
• Milk – You could also use buttermilk or even almond milk.
• Butter – Salted or unsalted butter works, if you are using salted butter consider cutting back the salt by 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoons.
• Blueberries – Fresh or frozen works for these pancakes. If you use frozen blueberries, do not thaw them and add them right to the pancake as it is beginning to cook instead of in the batter. You can also try blackberries, raspberries, sliced strawberries and sliced peaches.

Blueberry Pancake Variations

• Mix in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon for a little spice.
• Add 1 Tablespoon of lemon zest for a Blueberry Lemon Pancake.
• Sprinkle a few white chocolate chips on top of the pancakes before flipping for a sweet addition.
• Instead of topping with syrup and butter try peanut butter or a blueberry syrup.
• Add 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile of the pancakes.

Topping Options

You can’t go wrong with slathering on the classic options like butter and maple syrup!

If you are looking to mix it up, try sliced bananas, strawberries or fresh blueberries for a mixed fruit option.

A dollop of homemade whipped cream is another classic option.

How To Make Blueberry Pancakes

1. Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl.
2. In a second bowl, beat egg, then add the milk and melted butter. Stir to combine.
3. Combine the dry and wet ingredients and mix until moistened. Gently fold in blueberries.
4. Ladle the batter onto the preheated skillet making 3-4 pancakes.
5. Cook pancakes until bubbles form on top. Flip and brown on side two.
6. Repeat with remaining batter.

Storage and Reheating

Fridge: Store pancakes in an airtight container for up to 3-5 days. Place parchment paper between them so they don’t stick together.

Freezer: Freeze pancakes in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer until they are frozen, about an hour. Transfer pancakes to a freezer safe container with a piece of parchment paper between each pancake to prevent them from sticking together. Store for up to 2 months.

To reheat pancakes, place in a single layer on baking sheet and cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes or until heated through.

The toaster works to warm them up, too and this gives them that crisp exterior. The microwave will work, but might leave you with soggy pancakes.
