Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe for light, fluffy blueberry pancakes perfect for cozy mornings. Made with simple ingredients and a gentle folding technique to keep the batter airy and blueberries intact.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) buttermilk (or regular milk plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined; lumps are okay.
  4. Carefully fold in blueberries; if frozen, toss them in a teaspoon of flour first to prevent sinking.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto skillet; cook until bubbles form on surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip gently and cook the other side for about 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate in a low oven (about 200°F) to keep warm while finishing the batch.
  9. Serve stacked with butter and maple syrup or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; lumps are fine. Toss frozen blueberries in flour before folding in to prevent sinking and color bleeding. Flip pancakes only once for fluffiest results. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven. For dairy-free, substitute buttermilk with almond milk plus lemon juice and butter with coconut oil. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend and add 1/4 teaspoon extra baking powder.
