Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes
There’s something incredibly comforting about a stack of warm, fluffy blueberry pancakes. They’re nostalgic, delicious, and ridiculously easy to make. Whether you’re enjoying a lazy weekend breakfast or just need something sweet to lift your weekday spirits, blueberry pancakes are a go-to classic that never disappoints.
Practical Tips & Recipe Notes!
If you like experimenting in the kitchen, here are a few more things to try:
- Frozen berries: If using frozen blueberries, don’t thaw them – toss them straight into the batter to avoid streaky purple pancakes.
- Extra fluff: Separate the egg, whip the white until soft peaks form, and fold it into the batter last.
📖 Recipe

Ingredients
- 180g all-purpose flour
- 2 tbs cane sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ ts cinnamon

- 280ml milk
- 120g natural yoghurt
- 2 tbs butter (melted) + more for cooking
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract
- 250 g blueberries
- Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, yoghurt, oil, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and gently stir until just combined. The batter should be a bit lumpy.
