This is easily the BEST Blueberry Pancakes Recipe. Light and fluffy pancakes packed with fresh blueberries and topped with maple syrup. A delicious and easy breakfast recipe.
Years and years ago, my son would beg and beg for pancakes every morning. To help tame the beast, we implemented “Pancake Sunday.” Every Sunday we would make pancakes together as a family.
After a few weeks of the classics we were wondering how to add flavor to pancakes. The answer was simple: blueberries.

Blueberry Pancakes Tips and FAQs:
- Use room temperature ingredients for fluffy pancakes. I take my eggs and milk out of the refrigerator 20 minutes before starting.
- Do not over mix the batter. This recipe turns out best if you gently fold the ingredients together.
- Clarified butter is what I use when greasing my pan. It tends to brown less quickly and gives my pancakes a beautiful golden color.
- This recipe would taste incredible with my homemade butter pecan syrup.
What does buttermilk do to pancakes?
The acid in buttermilk helps react with the baking soda giving your pancakes extra fluffiness. THIS is the key to truly fluffy and delicious pancakes. It also helps make each bite a little more “melt in your mouth.”
Buttermilk Substitute:
No buttermilk? No problem! Honestly, the real stuff makes this recipe what it is. But in a pinch you can use this very simple substitute.
- Place one tablespoon of vinegar into a measuring cup.
- Top with enough milk to reach the 1 cup line.
- Let sit five to ten minutes.
- Stir and use as directed in the recipe.
