Ingredients!

The best part is all the ingredients are probably in your pantry except the blueberries! You might need to grab some of those from the grocery store.

Better yet, buy some frozen ones so you are always ready to make these whenever you have a craving.

Steps To Prepare

1. Combine the dry ingredients and sift into a 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. Heat griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. Generous coat with butter. Ladle the batter into the skillet making 3-4 pancakes.
5. Cook pancakes until bubbles form on top. Flip and brown on side two.
6. Repeat with remaining batter.

Making blueberry pancakes from scratch is not hard at all! The egg and baking powder makes the pancakes light and fluffy and the perfect easy and affordable meal!

Helpful Tools

• Sifter – a sifter will help remove the lumps and keep the pancakes light and fluffy!
• Ladle or 1/4 cup measuring cup – using a ladle or measuring cup will ensure the pancakes are all about the same size, this will help the blueberry pancakes to cook evenly.
• Cast iron skillet or griddle pan

Are you a blueberry fan? Two of my kids eat them like candy and one kid refused to touch them. I kind of feel like it’s a love or hate type of relationship with them.

I hope you LOVE them, so you can enjoy them in these pancakes!

Can frozen blueberries be substituted for fresh? 

Sure, you can substitute frozen blueberries, however, you’ll want to add the blueberries right to the pancake once you’ve ladled it on the skillet as it’s beginning to cook. If you add it to the batter, they will sink to the bottom.

They will work frozen, just might bleed more, but it will still taste delicious!

How can you tell when a pancake is ready to flip? 

I think pancakes can be intimidating for some people, but they shouldn’t be! It’s actually really easy to tell when a pancake is ready to be flipped. After you ladle the batter on the grill, the edges begin to brown and bubbles will rise. When the pancake can easily be lifted off the skillet it’s ready to be flipped.

Cook the pancake on side two until it’s golden brown and you’ll have the lightest, fluffiest pancakes every time!

How to Freeze

Make a double batch and freeze half of these pancakes for easy breakfasts! Here’s some great tips on how to freeze them.

• You will want to flash freeze the cooked pancakes, so place them in a single layer on a baking sheet that’s lined with parchment paper. Then place in the freezer until they are frozen, about a hour.
• Remove them from the sheet pan and place them in freezer safe container with a piece of parchment paper between each pancake to prevent them from sticking together.
• Store in freezer for up to 2 months.
• To reheat a frozen pancakes, place in a single layer on baking sheet and cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees F. for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
• Another option is to reheat frozen pancakes in microwave, but they might be a little more soggy. It will take about 15-20 seconds to reheat one pancake in the microwave.
• The toaster works to warm them up to and this gives them that crisp exterior!

Add Lemon!

For a twist on these easy Blueberry Pancakes add a few Tbsp of lemon zest to the batter. It’s a mouthwatering combination.

These pancakes are so easy and have so much flavor they have become a recipe that I always go to when I’m in a pinch and don’t know what to make.

We love them for a quick dinner with sausage and eggs too.
