Easy Blueberry Pancakes

Easy Blueberry Pancakes made from scratch with everyday ingredients and fresh blueberries (or frozen) to create the BEST fluffy pancakes at home!

Breakfast recipes are sort of my jam. (Ha! “jam”. See what I did there?) But in all reality, if this is your first time here, you’re also gonna love my Easy, Fluffy American Pancakes, Pumpkin White Chocolate Pancakes, and my Easy 5-Minute Butternut Squash Pancakes (for when you want to sneak in a veggie for the kids.)

 

If you love pancakes as much as I do, then you’ll want to get a hold of this list of over 95 pancake toppings to add to all sorts of pancakes!

Easy Blueberry Pancakes

Why are pancakes so stinking good?

I think they’re my favorite to make for breakfast because they can be so versatile by adding just about anything to them to give them some extra “oomph”.

With pancakes, you can either add ingredients right in to the pancake batter or sprinkle on top just before serving. Here is a quick list of my favorite toppings…

Pancake Toppings:

• chocolate chips
• honey
• maple syrup (or agave syrup can be a healthier alternative or even )
• peanut butter
• caramel sauce (check out this low carb/no sugar syrup I used for my son’s keto diet)
• whipped cream
• strawberries
• peaches
• blackberries
• blueberries (Make a batch of these blueberry buttermilk muffins too!)
• bananas
• nuts
• cream cheese/powdered sugar “frosting”
• apple pie filling (or any pie filling)
• crumbled bacon (mix with a maple cream or syrup – OMG)
• sneak in sweet veggies like canned sweet potato or butternut squash
• I’d even go so far to say adding your favorite cookies like we did with these Oreo pancakes, would even be fun!

But honestly, I don’t know if there’s anything better than a classic blueberry pancake. That warm, sweet burst of blueberry flavor when you bite in to a blueberry pancake is hard to replicate with any other topping.

Fresh or Frozen Blueberries

When you’re whipping up these blueberry pancakes, feel free to use fresh or frozen.

Fresh is always better in my opinion, but I know how life goes, and sometimes we only have frozen on hand, and they work perfectly fine. If you’re grabbing blueberries at the store, grab extras to make this blueberry cobbler recipe in the cast iron skillet.

Should frozen blueberries be thawed before baking?

Nope! Throw them in just as they are. They should thaw out while cooking… HOWEVER, they may still have a cold temperature if your pancakes cook too fast and don’t allow the berries enough time to reach warm.

How to Make Blueberry Pancakes from Scratch

If you’ve been making Fantabulosity recipes for a while, then you KNOW I love a good shortcut when it comes to cooking, because:

“Good food doesn’t have to be difficult.”

so a good pancake mix like “Krusteaz” does come in handy but there’s something about a homemade pancake “mix” that just may make you fall in love. Especially when it’s an easy homemade pancake recipe… like this one.

The crisp outside edges with the soft fluffy center and the addition of the warm, juicy berries are hard to beat.

So let’s get into HOW to make them…shall we?

Here are the ingredients you’ll need:

See ingredient list and printable recipe card at the end of this post.

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups buttermilk (Or if you prefer almond milk, you may love making these pancakes made with almond milk!)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoon butter
• Roughly 1 cup of fresh blueberries washed and stems removed.

Mix the Pancake Batter:

First, combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk to remove any large lumps.

Add in all of the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.

How to Cook Pancakes

Preheat a griddle or large skillet until warm and add in about 2 tablespoon of butter.

Using a measuring cup, measure out ¼ cup of batter and place in the middle of the skillet or on the griddle.

If you are using a griddle place pancakes about 1-2 inches apart.

Top with 5-6 fresh blueberries and press lightly into the batter.

Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown, flip and repeat.

Serve with butter and warm syrup and enjoy! (Or get creative with the toppings ideas I mentioned above and make your own creation!)

What to Serve with Pancakes:

Some of my favorite things to serve along with pancakes for a small or even BIG breakfast buffet are:

• bacon (get crazy and make my smoked candied bacon)
• eggs (scrambled, over-easy, well-done, or your favorite!)
• mini waffle breakfast sandwiches
• easy quiche recipe
• biscuit & Gravy Dippers
• Hawaiian breakfast sandwiches

If you love sweet berry desserts, make sure you make this razzleberry pie too!
