Recipe

Start your morning with a stack of fluffy, golden-brown blueberry pancakes bursting with juicy berries. This easy homemade recipe delivers the perfect balance of sweetness and tang, making it a breakfast favorite for all ages.

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 ¼ cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions:

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In another bowl, beat the egg, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overmix; a few lumps are fine).
Gently fold in the blueberries.
Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve warm with maple syrup or additional blueberries.

Notes:

For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw to prevent discoloration.

What To Serve With It

I love pairing my blueberry pancakes with fresh fruit like sliced bananas or strawberries, as they add a revitalizing contrast. For syrup, I like experimenting with choices, from classic maple to fruity options like blueberry or honey. These pairings make the meal feel extra special without much effort.

Fresh Fruit Pairings

Though pancakes are delicious on their own, pairing them with fresh fruit adds a burst of flavor and a touch of healthiness that’s hard to resist. I love slicing banana coins or arranging strawberry halves over my blueberry pancakes—it’s like a fruity topping party! Raspberries or blackberries give a tangy kick, while orange segments add a sunny sweetness. Sometimes, I go tropical with pineapple chunks or mango slices for a fun twist. Don’t forget fresh peaches or kiwi for a juicy surprise! These simple combinations make every bite feel a little fancier, like I’m treating myself to a mini breakfast feast.

Syrup Varieties To Try

While fresh fruit can elevate pancakes beautifully, let’s not forget the magic that syrup brings to the table! My go-to is classic maple—rich, sweet, and perfect with blueberry pancakes. But don’t stop there! Try honey for a floral twist, or warm up with spiced cinnamon syrup. If you’re feeling adventurous, a drizzle of blueberry syrup doubles down on flavor. For a tangy kick, lemon-infused syrup balances the sweetness. And if you love texture, a homemade caramel sauce adds gooey goodness. Trust me, experimenting with syrups can turn your stack from great to unforgettable. Happy drizzling!
