Fluffy, buttery, and bursting with juicy blueberries – these blueberry pancakes are the ultimate breakfast treat! Perfect for a cozy weekend morning, they’re easy to make and taste even better with a drizzle of maple syrup.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

• 3 ½ tsp baking powder

• 1 tbsp sugar

• ¼ tsp salt

• 1 ¼ cups milk (whole or 2%)

• 1 large egg

• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)

• Butter or oil for cooking

Directions

• Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  
• Add Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  
• Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined — small lumps are okay.
  
• Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in blueberries without overmixing.
  
• Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  
• Cook Pancakes: Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top (about 2 minutes), then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
  
• Serve Warm: Stack pancakes and serve with butter, maple syrup, or extra blueberries on top.

Expert Tips and Variations

For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking. You can swap regular milk for almond or oat milk, and butter for coconut oil for a lighter twist. Adding a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest gives a subtle flavor boost. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep pancakes soft, and gently fold in blueberries to prevent them from sinking.

How to Store and Reheat Blueberry Pancakes

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer. Reheat in a toaster, oven, or skillet to maintain their soft, fluffy texture.
