Why You'll Love These Pancakes

Blueberry pancakes are not only delicious but also packed with antioxidants and nutrients from fresh or frozen blueberries. The combination of soft, buttery pancakes with the natural sweetness of blueberries and the rich flavor of maple syrup makes for an irresistible dish.


Ingredients:

To make approximately 8-10 pancakes, you will need:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk (or substitute with milk + 1 teaspoon vinegar)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

¼ cup milk (if needed for consistency)

Maple syrup (for serving)


Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  2. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

  4. If the batter is too thick, add a little milk to adjust consistency.

  5. Gently fold in the blueberries.

Step 2: Cook the Pancakes

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.

  2. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.

  3. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes).

  4. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  5. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.

Step 3: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle generously with warm maple syrup.

  2. Garnish with extra blueberries or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

  3. Serve warm and enjoy!
