These fluffy buttermilk blueberry pancakes are a perfect breakfast treat with a tender crumb and juicy bursts of blueberries in every bite. Easy to make and ideal for weekend brunch or busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (60 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 grams) fresh or frozen blueberries, thawed and drained if frozen

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat eggs until frothy, then add buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Carefully fold in the blueberries to keep them intact and evenly distributed.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Test by flicking a drop of water on the surface; it should sizzle and evaporate quickly.
  6. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil. Using a ladle or ¼-cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet.
  7. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate or oven set at 200°F (90°C) while finishing the rest.
  10. Serve immediately with butter and maple syrup or honey.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best rise. Fold blueberries gently to keep them whole. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven. If batter is too thick, add a splash of buttermilk. Avoid pressing pancakes while cooking to maintain fluffiness.
