The Best Blueberry Pancakes

These Blueberry Pancakes are easy to make, flavorful and fluffy. Perfect to serve on the weekend or cook up a batch and have breakfast for dinner.

Breakfast is my favorite meal. It doesn’t take long to put together, and you can eat breakfast foods at any time of the day. I love cooking it, eating it, and making it for friends. If you’re an overnight guest at my house, you get to sleep in and wake up to the smell of coffee and something tasty cooking on my stove. These blueberry pancakes are simple to make, and you can use fresh or frozen blueberries in the batter. I like to serve them with my homemade turkey breakfast sausage and warm maple syrup.

BLUEBERRY PANCAKES COOKING TIPS

You can use fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries to make this recipe. If you use frozen, don't thaw them. Place the frozen blueberries in the batter. They will thaw while you are cooking them. I used fresh blueberries, but I also like using the smaller frozen wild blueberries.

I used a stand mixer to make the batter. Wolf Gourmet provided me with this powerhouse stand mixer that created a wonderful, smooth batter. You can also use a hand held mixer. Either way, be mindful not to over mix the batter. Always fold the blueberries into the batter by hand. If you don't, you'll end up with purple pancakes.

Always add you dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt and sugar) to the bowl first.

Thoroughly mix together the wet ingredients (milk, eggs and butter) before blending them into the dry ingredients. Make sure that your skillet is hot before pouring the batter onto it. You want to cook the pancakes on medium heat with a small amount of butter. For even-sized pancakes, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour your batter. You can also use a 1/4 cup soup ladle.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN TO FLIP YOUR PANCAKES?

First, don't flip the pancakes too early. They will taste like raw batter. When the under-side is golden brown, the pancake edges begin to brown, and tiny bubbles form on top, it's time to flip them. Don't press down on the pancakes after flipping. Just allow them to cook until the other side is golden brown.
