Easy and quick recipe for tender, fluffy pancakes bursting with fresh blueberries, perfect for cozy weekend breakfasts or any morning treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) buttermilk (or milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries (frozen can be used without thawing)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined; batter should be a little lumpy.
  4. Carefully fold in the blueberries to keep them intact and evenly distributed.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Pour batter onto skillet using a ladle or 1/4 cup measure, leaving space between pancakes.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes; flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate or cooling rack covered loosely with foil to keep warm.
  9. Serve immediately with butter and maple syrup or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay. Use room temperature ingredients for best rise. Fold blueberries gently to avoid bruising. Keep cooked pancakes warm on a wire rack in a 200°F oven covered loosely with foil. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. For dairy-free, substitute buttermilk with almond or oat milk plus lemon juice and butter with coconut oil.
