Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes recipe made with fresh blueberries. So easy to make, and somewhat healthy, they make a delicious filling breakfast idea.
Can you believe it has took me all of this time to make the most classic breakfast recipe ever? The real question is, is there even a time when I walk into a breakfast restaurant and DON’T order Blueberry Pancakes?? Either on the side or as the main meal, it is definitely one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast.
I am eating these Blueberry Pancakes as a break from all of the cake I have been eating lately. I am making my own wedding cake for my wedding which is in one month (😮!) and have been making a mess of it so far! Follow along with my cake making adventures (and disasters!!) on my Instagram. I show you all behind the scenes in my stories, so you can decide whether or not you want to do this yourself!
I would say…. maybe not.
Blueberry Pancakes Ingredients
You just need 10 ingredients to make this Blueberry Pancake recipe. All you need is:
- Whole milk: Can be replaced by a non dairy milk if you want dairy free pancakes.
- White vinegar: This is to sour the milk and give the pancakes an extra rise. You can replace this with lemon juice.
- All purpose flour: To up the nutrition for these pancakes, use whole wheat.
- Salt: This helps bring out the flavors more.
- Baking powder: This helps make the pancakes fluffy!
- White sugar: Kind of optional, especially if you load your pancakes with maple syrup.
- Large egg: Replace with a flax egg (and replace the milk to a dairy free version) if you wanted vegan pancakes.
- Vanilla extract: Adds to a blueberry muffin like taste. Can also replace with almond extract.
- Melted butter: A little adds a lot of flavor, and helps get that golden brown color.
- Blueberries: Using juicy blueberries is key.
Tips
Storage: Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. I love reheating them in the toaster, but microwaving them for around 10 seconds works as well.
Freezing: These pancakes freeze so well. Just place the cooled pancakes in a large freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, just place the frozen pancakes in the toaster!
Replace the blueberries. Any berries work, just make sure that you are using fresh juicy berries for the best results. I love strawberries and raspberries best.
Add some toppings: Syrups are classic on pancakes, but get creative with it! Whipped cream and extra blueberries are another favorite in my house.

Ooooooh! Looks so good! And the addition of the blueberries is spot on. And 100% maple syrup is a must. It’s been years since I’ve made pancakes. Think I’ll invite the grandsons over and try out your recipe.

Love blueberry pancakes! Interesting addition of vinegar (similar action as buttermilk I guess?). Your pancakes look so fluff and light.
Haha, yes. I never seem to have buttermilk at home, and I know most of my readers don’t either.

These look seriously fluffy! I will try your base recipe and add some of the Saskatoon berries from our garden! I have never tried to freeze pancakes before but your idea to heat them up in the toaster is great! Will definitely try this as well!
It is one of my favourite things to do with pancakes! Saskatoon berries sound like an amazing addition to pancakes!
I always order blueberry pancakes too when I see it on the menu! I’d love to try this with a bit of lemon zest.
That is one of my favourite combos! Thanks Tina 🙂

You have the right idea 🙂 It’s such a great breakfast idea!
