• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)

• Pure maple syrup
• Whipped butter
• Lemon zest or powdered sugar

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowls (one large, one small)
• Whisk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Ladle or measuring cup (for pouring batter)
• Nonstick griddle or skillet
• Spatula

Ingredient Additions & Substitutions

How to Make The Very Best Blueberry Pancakes Recipe

Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.

Step 3: Bring It All Together

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Stir gently just until combined—some lumps are perfectly fine (they make the pancakes fluffier!).

Step 4: Add the Blueberries

Fold in the blueberries with a spatula. If using frozen berries, toss them lightly in flour first to prevent color bleeding.

Step 5: Heat the Griddle

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.

Step 6: Cook the Pancakes

Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Step 7: Keep Warm & Serve

Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a low oven (around 200°F). Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.

Serve stacked high, drizzled with maple syrup, and topped with extra blueberries.

What to Serve with The Very Best Blueberry Pancakes Recipe

• Crispy bacon or sausage links – for that sweet-salty balance.
• Fresh fruit salad – adds color and freshness.
• Scrambled eggs – to make it a complete breakfast spread.
• Lemon curd or vanilla yogurt – for an elegant brunch twist.

Storage & Reheating

• Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freezer: Layer pancakes between parchment paper in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: Toast or microwave until warm. (A toaster gives that fresh-off-the-griddle texture!)
