Why you’ll love these Blueberry Pancakes:

• Incredibly Fluffy – These fluffy pancakes will ruin you for all other pancakes!
• Double Blueberry Flavor – You just can’t beat the juicy little pockets of sweet blueberries in each bite. Well, dousing the whole stack in blueberry compote just might outdo that!
• Easy to Make – Homemade pancakes are incredibly easy to make, and you can easily make a larger batch of this recipe to feed a crowd.

Ingredient Overview:

As always, the full recipe with measurements & directions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post. Use the table of contents (back at the top, below the first image, to navigate).

• Butter – I always use salted buter because in my experience, it lends the best flavor, but feel free to use unsalted butter if that’s what you prefer.
• Buttermilk – No substitute really compares – real buttermilk pancakes are incredibly delicious and fluffy!
• Egg – Use a large egg, at room temperature.
• All-purpose flour – Spoon your flour into the measuring cup, then level it with a flat utensil for best results, or use a scale. Scooping the measuring cup directly into your flour will lead to too much flour, and a potentially dry bake.
• Blueberries – Use fresh or frozen. If using frozen, don’t thaw.

Recipe Substitutions & Variations:

• Blueberries – You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw. But, know that they may turn the batter a purpley blue color.
• Buttermilk – Add 1 tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar to a 1-cup glass measuring cup. Fill with milk until you hit the one cup line. Stir and let rest 5 minutes. Real buttermilk is the best but this is an acceptable substitute.

How to Make Blueberry Pancakes:

Step 1: Make Blueberry Sauce. Cook together blueberries, sugar, and lemon zest. Thicken with corn starch and water, then stir in vanilla and lemon juice.

Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients. Whisk together melted butter, buttermilk, and an egg in a medium bowl.

Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients. Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. We want a lumpy batter!

Step 4: Cook Pancakes. Cook pancakes on an electric griddle over medium heat until golden brown. Add blueberries to each pancake as they cook. (Yes, I overdid a few of the first pancakes in this photo, hush haha.)

Serving + Storing the Best Blueberry Pancakes:

Serve while piping hot, with plenty of blueberry sauce, butter, real maple syrup, and even whipped cream! Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Expert Pancake Tips:

• Kitchen Scale – A food scale is the best way to make sure your flour is at the proper weight, since amounts will vary SO widely based on how you measure it, as well as the measuring cup you use, as they are not standardized.
• Don’t Over Mix – Pancake batter should be a little lumpy. This makes taller & fluffier pancakes!
• Griddle – Using a griddle is a game-changer for cooking pancakes! You can cook way more pancakes at once.
• Keep it Warm – Keep the cooked pancakes on a baking sheet or large plate covered with foil to keep warm until it’s time to eat.
• Adjust Heat – If your pancakes are browning too quickly (and approaching black) on the bottom, turn down your heat.
• Ready to Eat – Get your plates, syrup, forks, etc. out before you start cooking so you can start eating those hot pancakes immediately!
