Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes (Print page)

Fluffy pancakes loaded with fresh blueberries, topped with butter and maple syrup for a classic breakfast.

# What You Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 1 1/4 cups milk
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
08 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Add-ins

09 - 1 cup fresh blueberries

→ For Serving

10 - Butter, to serve
11 - Maple syrup, to serve

# Directions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
03 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; some small lumps are acceptable and will result in tender pancakes.
04 - Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them. If using frozen blueberries, add them directly from the freezer without thawing.
05 - Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking oil.
06 - Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the heated skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, approximately 2 minutes.
07 - Flip pancakes carefully and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through completely.
08 - Transfer cooked pancakes to a serving plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately with butter and maple syrup.
