Description

Fluffy and delicious Blueberry Pancakes made with fresh blueberries and a perfectly balanced batter, ideal for a hearty breakfast or brunch. These pancakes are light, fluffy, and bursting with juicy blueberries, topped off with your favorite accompaniments like maple syrup or whipped cream.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (unbleached recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined. This dry mix forms the base of your pancake batter and ensures even distribution of the leavening agents.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth. Be sure to add the butter while it’s still warm to avoid lumps in your batter.
  3. Blend It All Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. A few lumps are fine—overmixing can make the pancakes tough instead of light and fluffy.
  4. Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, being gentle to keep the berries whole and juicy, enhancing the flavor and texture.
  5. Cook Your Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour approximately half a cup of batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve With Love: Transfer the pancakes to plates and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or extra blueberries for an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor; frozen can be used but may alter the texture.
  • Ensure the skillet is properly heated before adding batter to get a nice golden crust.
  • Butter can be substituted with a neutral oil if preferred.
  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and dairy-free butter alternatives.
