Blueberry Pancake Recipe

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!

Professional Baker Teaches You How To Make BLUEBERRY PANCAKES!

FAQ

Can I just add fruit to pancake mix?

Yes, just substitute the same amount of frozen berries for fresh. You do not need to thaw the berries before adding them to your batter. What is this? I’ve found that when I use frozen berries they do tend to streak my batter a bit, so your pancakes may have some purplish/blue streaks, but they’ll still taste perfect!

Is it better to use fresh or frozen blueberries in pancakes?

It’s up to you; skim milk will yield the least tender pancake, whole milk the most tender. If you use fresh berries, mix them right into the batter. If you use frozen berries, it’s better to scatter them atop the cooking pancakes.

Do you add berries to pancake batter before or after pouring?
