Tired oftraditional pancakes? Well look no further than these delicious blueberry pancakes! As the blueberries cook they burst and release their flavor, allowing it to seep into the pancake.

The result is a fluffy, moist, flavorful pancake that will keep you coming back for seconds. If you don’t have fresh blueberries then you can easily swap them for some frozen blueberries. Just make sure you thaw your berries in the fridge first.

Recipe FAQs

Is it better to mix my blueberries into the batter or scatter them on top?

We recommend mixing your blueberries directly into the pancake batter. This helps ensure they distribute evenly. With that being said, scattering extra blueberries on top of your pancakes is a great way to add extra flavor and texture. You can sprinkle 6-8 blueberries on top of your pancake if you’d like.

Why are my pancakes sticking to the pan?

If your pancakes are sticking to the pan repeatedly then you will want to turn down the heat on your stovetop. Using a nonstick skillet will also help make flipping your pancakes easier. Don’t forget to coat your pan in 1 tablespoon of melted butter before adding any pancake batter.

Can I make my pancake batter ahead of time?

When making any kind of pancake it is not recommended that you make the batter ahead of time. As the batter sits in the fridge the air bubbles the baking powder creates will pop, causing the batter to go flat. As a result you will be left with flat pancakes even if you remix the batter.

Expert Tips

We like to use fresh blueberries whenever they are availableat our grocery store, but you can also use frozen berries. If you are using frozen blueberries then you will want to let them thaw in the fridge before adding them to your batter.This will ensure they are warm and gooey by the time the pancake is finished cooking.

We recommend using unsweetened almond milk if you are using a dairy-free alternative, but you are welcome to use whatever you would like.Unsweetened almond milk has the least effect on the flavor of these pancakes.
If you only have unsalted butter then you will want to add ¼ teaspoon of saltto your pancake batter. You can add it at the same time as the dry ingredients.

Topping Ideas

We love topping these fruity pancakes with even more fresh fruit. Blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, and bananas all make great additions to these blueberry pancakes. You can also top your pancakes with blueberry syrup,homemade buttermilk syrup, maple syrup, orwhipped creamfor some extra sweetness.

How to Store Leftover Pancakes

Make a double batch and save some for another day!

You can store your leftovers in the fridge for a week. Keep your pancakes in either a Ziploc bag or airtight container to keep them fresh as long as possible. When you are ready for some pancakes, reheat a couple in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Flip your pancakes halfway through to ensure they reheat evenly.

Alternatively, you can store your pancakes in the freezer for up to 3 months. We recommend allowing your pancakes to cool completely before transferring them to a container or Ziploc bag.
