Drench them in syrup, slather them with melted butter, or enjoy them straight out of the pan! Our Blueberry Pancakes are THE perfect weekend breakfast or brunch! Especially when juicy, warm blueberries burst into your mouth with every bite.
We added blueberries into our reader favourite fluffy pancakes recipe, to give you THE perfect breakfast! Golden, crispy edges with soft and fluffy centres, you will love the fresh and juicy addition.
We’ve altered our perfected recipe only slightly to let them rise with the addition of berries, as fruity additions tend to weigh the batter down, resulting in dense pancakes.
To make blueberry pancakes nice and fluffy, we’ve adding an extra little pinch of baking soda and a squeeze of lemon juice to give them a big boost.
Baking soda (or bi carb soda) activates best when used with an acidic ingredient — in this case, lemon juice. If you can’t use juice, substitute with white vinegar, or replace the milk with buttermilk!
How to get that flip perfected without creating lopsided pancakes? Grab a good, plastic spatula and slide it underneath the pancake. Use your WRIST to gently flip them instead of using your whole arm. You’ll know what I mean when you’re in front of your pan ready to flip. THIS makes a HUGE difference.
Once they’re cooked, slather with butter and serve with maple syrup and get ready for your mind to be blown away!

- Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Melt a little smear of butter in the pan (essential for giving a yummy golden brown crust).
- Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the hot skillet and spread it flat-like (it will be pretty thick). Arrange a few blueberries on top. Cook until you see little bubbles on top and the edges starting to firm up. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the pancakes are sky-high fluffy and cooked through.
