BEST Blueberry Pancake Recipe
Making homemade pancakes is so easy and totally worth the little extra time! We love all sorts of pancakes, especially banana pancakes and ones with sprinkles, but blueberry pancakes are even better. This pancake recipe produces super light and fluffy and I added blueberries to make them even better. These have the best flavor and texture – they’re the perfect breakfast. The pancake batter is so easy to put together and Blueberry Pancakes are freezable and easy to make ahead for busy mornings.
Ingredients Needed
- All-Purpose Flour: You can also use 1:1 Gluten Free AP Flour to make gluten-free pancakes.
- Granulated Sugar: This is traditional but you can also use brown sugar.
- Egg: Be sure to buy large eggs.
- Lemon Juice: The acidity activates the baking soda which works with the baking powder to make these the fluffiest pancakes you’ll ever eat. You can also use white vinegar. This is my secret to fluffy pancakes!
- Milk: You can use ANY kind of milk – regular or nondairy. Or omit milk and lemon juice and use buttermilk instead.
- Vegetable Oil: A little oil helps them be moist and not stick. You can also use melted butter or canola oil.
- Blueberries: Fresh or frozen blueberries will taste perfect, but be sure if using frozen berries that they are thawed and drained.
How to make Fluffy Pancakes
- Whisk flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Whisk egg, lemon juice, milk, and oil. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
- Pour pancakes on prepared pan and sprinkle blueberries on top. This will ensure the blueberries won’t sink in or discolor the batter.
- Cook pancakes immediately, flipping halfway, on griddle or in pan greased with cooking spray. Serve warm with syrup.
Expert Tips
- You can cook these on a griddle preheated to 350°F or in a skillet over medium heat. You know the pan is ready for your pancakes when a fleck of water “dances” in the pan.
- If you are using frozen blueberries, make sure the thaw them and dry them before going into the batter. The water from the ice can water down the pancakes if not dried.
- You know a pancake is ready to be flipped when the top bubbles. They are done when they become a golden brown color.
- You can make pancakes with other fruit or mix-ins too: strawberries, raspberries, bananas, blackberries, or chocolate chips!
- To make ahead: Cool pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet covered with paper towels. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
- Freeze cooled pancakes between paper towels or parchment paper in an airtight container so you can grab single pancakes.
- Cold or frozen pancakes can be reheated in the microwave or in a toaster.

One cup of milk is too much, 3/4 works much better. Otherwise the pancake batter is too thin.
So I just made these blueberry pancakes & they are yummy. Very moist, smelled great & I have enough for tomorrow morning.
So I substituted strawberry yogurt for the almond/c milk I also put the lemon juice in & lots of fresh blueberries from Chile(thank you Chile). These bad boys were very thick but I left them that way & just spread them out in the skillet & gave them time. Well done Dorothy…We will have these again.
I still have a couple of cups of fresh blueberries….The lemon/blueberry bread is next….Happy Weekend Everyone
Yummy!
wow, the cakes look delicious and attractive.
Delicious! Used fresh blueberries and didn’t wait an hour.
I did make them but sorry to say I did not use the almond milk. I substituted buttermilk. I find that almond milk to sweet to my taste. My son will have to try to make it with almond milk if he desires.
hey girl- these pancakes look so yummy!
These look amazing! I love blueberries in pancakes!
We make pancakes every Sunday and my kids love adding blueberries! I need to try this recipe next weekend!
