Blueberry Pancake Recipe Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this blueberry pancake recipe, with a few details:
- Blueberries: Dried blueberries are great because they do not break down and add water to the pancake batter. Make sure to pick unsweetened dried blueberries. Fresh blueberries also work great.
- All-purpose flour: It makes up the base of the pancake batter.
- Baking powder and baking soda: They help the pancakes rise when cooking.
- Cane sugar: It sweetens the batter lightly. If you plan on using a lot of sugary toppings (honey, maple syrup, etc…), you may want to decrease the amount.
- Milk: We like using whole milk. Any milk you keep on hand will work. Even vegetal milk like oat, soy, or almond milk would work here, too.
- Egg: A whole egg will help the batter rise when cooking.
- Vanilla extract: This is for flavor and helps to reduce the eggy taste.
- Salt: Makes the flavors shine!

Directions
How to make blueberry pancakes:
1. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
2. Make a well in the center and add the milk, melted butter (cooled a little bit to avoid cooking the egg), vanilla extract, and egg.
3. Whisk the wet ingredients together before slowly folding them into the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth – a few lumps are ok. Adjust consistency with a little milk if you want.
4. Add the blueberries to the pancake batter and mix gently to incorporate.
5. Set the pancake batter aside and allow to rest while heating your pan or griddle.
6. Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over low-medium heat and wipe over with a little butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently into a round shape with the back of your ladle or measuring cup.
7. When the underside is golden and bubbles appear on the surface, flip the pancake with a spatula and cook until golden. Repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Serve the blueberry pancakes with honey, maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruits… You name it! Enjoy!
Tips for the blueberry pancakes recipe
- Allow the batter to rest before cooking to make fluffier pancakes.
- Keep the heat low-medium to avoid burning the pancakes, and cook them evenly.
- If using fresh blueberries, coat them lightly in flour before adding them to the batter. This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the pancake.
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh or dried ones?
Yes, you can use frozen blueberries in this recipe. Just thaw them and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the pancake batter.
Can I make the batter ahead of time and refrigerate it?
Yes, you can make the batter the night before, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it. Give it a good stir before cooking, as the batter may thicken and need extra milk.
Can I make these pancakes without eggs?
Yes, you can make the pancakes without the egg. However, the texture and flavor may differ slightly as the pancakes might become less fluffy.
How to keep blueberry pancakes leftovers
You can keep any leftovers in your refrigerator for 2 days, covered with plastic wrap, so the pancakes don’t dry out.
