Since my light and fluffy Vanilla Yogurt Pancakes were such a hit on my blog, I wanted to try these Blueberry Pancakes and they are just as delicious! They are slightly sweetened, tender and take less than 30 minutes to whip up!
These are the Best Blueberry Pancakes, especially if you love blueberries! Indulging in a tall stack of fluffy pancakes is a breakfast dream! You can even make these into mini pancakes for kids for a fun breakfast treat. Pancakes always make mornings better and sweeter.
Some other favorite pancakes to make are these Fluffy Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes, Ricotta Orange Whole Wheat Pancakes and Banana Oatmeal Pancakes.
Pancakes are always better when they get cooked on a griddle or skillet smeared with melted butter. The pancakes are light, delicate and filled with fresh (or frozen) blueberries that pairs so perfectly and creates the best pancake flavor.
INGREDIENTS TO MAKE THE BEST BLUEBERRY PANCAKES
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Granulated sugar
- Milk
- Buttermilk
- Eggs
- Butter
- Blueberries
HOW TO MAKE THE BEST BLUEBERRY PANCAKES
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a large bowl.
- Stir in milk, buttermilk, eggs and melted butter until combined. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy. Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes so the batter can puff up.
- Heat a skillet or griddle on medium heat. Once heated, grease with butter and scoop approximatley 1/4 cup of pancake batter into griddle. You may need to use a spoon to form a pancake shape. Top batter with blueberries (I like to use a small handful but you can use as many or little as you desire).
- When bubbles start to form on the top of the pancake batter and edges, carefully flip with a spatula and cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides. The pancakes take about 2 minutes to cook on each side. Transfer the pancakes to a cooling rack until all of the batter is cooked or you can place the pancakes on a baking sheet and leave them in a warmed oven (300 degrees F) until all of the pancakes are cooked to keep warm.
THESE BLUEBERRY PANCAKES ARE
- Easy to make for any morning! They take about 25 minutes to make depending on the size of your skillet or griddle.
- Freezer-friendly and can be made ahead of time and stored for when you want a quick, easy and delicious breakfast.
- Perfect for any morning of the week and brunch.
- Simple, slightly sweet and are filled with juicy blueberries that pop in you mouth,
My favorite way to enjoy the Best Blueberry Pancakes is to slather them with butter, warm melted syrup and top the pancakes with more blueberries! You can also top with them powdered sugar or eat them plain.
OTHER PANCAKE TOPPINGS
Feel free to top your hot cakes with any of your favorites! Besides maple syrup and butter, these toppings would make a great addition:
- Honey
- Jam
- Lemon curd or lemon zest
- Fresh mixed berries
- Sliced bananas
- Whipped cream
- Blueberry or fruit compote
You want your pancakes to have crispy, golden brown edges. That means they are perfect and the pancakes will have the special texture we all love.
LEFTOVERS
These Blueberry Pancakes store best in an airtight container, on a plate covered with plastic wrap or you can put them in a zip-lock bag for up to 2-3 days. The pancakes may look a little discolored after a day because of the blueberries but that is totally ok!
FREEZER-FRIENDLY
To freeze these pancakes, flash freeze the pancakes on a baking sheet once they are completely cooled. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Heat them in the oven or microwave when ready to eat.

We make pancakes for breakfast every Saturday morning. These were made last weekend and everyone in my family agreed they were the best we’ve made to date.
I love that!! So happy you and your family enjoyed them!
Wow, they look incredible, so tempting! This would be great for our weekend brunch and a change from the blueberry muffins I usually make. Love how they are studded with berries! Thanks for sharing, will definitely be trying them.
Thanks so much Paula! I hope you get to try these over the weekend 🙂
Buttermilk pancakes are the absolute best! This recipe is easy to make and I always have these ingredients on hand!
Thank you Dana! The buttermilk makes these pancakes extra delicious and I am so glad you love this recipe!
Blueberry Pancakes are the best breakfast to wake up to! These did not disappoint. I love that these come out light and fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness. And I’m with you, smear that butter on top then drizzle syrup is the best way to eat these. I’ll have to check and see how the freezer option works when I have some left to freeze. lol
Thanks Linda! The butter and maple syrup on top is the best way to enjoy these pancakes!
Such a simple and easy recipe to follow… and the pancakes came out so delicious! Will be making these every weekend. Thanks for the recipe!
Yay that is so great to hear! Thanks for trying my recipe! Enjoy!!
What light, yet perfectly crusty pancakes. How clever to drop the blueberries onto the pancakes so that the berries don’t turn the batter purple. These look like a great Valentine breakfast.
Thank you Beth! Dropping the pancakes on top of the batter makes it so easy to get blueberries in every bite! I hope you love these pancakes!
