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:

  1. Frozen berries: If using frozen blueberries, don’t thaw them – toss them straight into the batter to avoid streaky purple pancakes.
  2. Extra fluff: Separate the egg, whip the white until soft peaks form, and fold it into the batter last.

📖 Recipe

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 30 minutes

Total time: 40 minutes

Servings: 10 pancakes

Ingredients

  • 180g all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbs cane sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ ts cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1 egg
  • 280ml milk
  • 120g natural yoghurt
  • 2 tbs butter (melted) + more for cooking
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 250 g blueberries
  • Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, yoghurt, oil, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and gently stir until just combined. The batter should be a bit lumpy.
  4. If you are using fresh blueberries, fold them into the batter.
  5. Place a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Once hot, ladle in some batter (about 1/4 cup per pancake).
  6. If you are using frozen berries, evenly scatter them onto each pancake immediately after pouring the batter.
  7. Cook the pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface.
  8. Flip and cook for 1 to 2 additional minutes, or until the pancakes are puffed and golden brown.
  9. Serve with maple syrup.
