Ingredients You’ll Need:
Ingredient Notes
- Butter – the butter is melted and mixed into the batter. Melted coconut oil also works!
- Blueberries – fresh blueberries work best! Frozen blueberries can also work but it’s best to thaw them first and then very gently fold them into the batter, so that they don’t turn your batter blue.
- Baking powder – this recipe uses a whole tablespoon of baking powder. This is perfect for fluffy pancakes!
- Milk – you can use any milk including non-dairy options.

Chef’s Tips
Measure the flour correctly. Measuring the flour correctly ensures you get light and fluffy pancakes. If you accidentally use too much flour the pancakes may be dry and heavy. So either weigh out your flour on a food scale (best option) or use the spoon and level method to measure it. Spoon the flour into your measuring cup and then level it off with the back of a knife. Don’t scoop it, don’t pack it into the cup.
Don’t overmix the batter. Another important tip for light and fluffy pancakes is not to overmix the batter. Tiny lumps are fine! Just mix it until it’s just mixed.
Add extra blueberries to the top of each pancake as it cooks. Even though we’ve already added blueberries to the batter, they may not distribute entirely evenly. So as soon as you pour your batter into the hot frying pan, dot a few more blueberries on top of the pancake as needed so that you have an even distribution.
Make them gluten free. If you’d like to make gluten free blueberry pancakes then all you have to do is replace the regular flour with a gluten free all purpose flour blend, in the same quantity.
Make them dairy free. Switch the melted butter for melted coconut oil and use a non-dairy milk like soy milk or almond milk instead.
Need more pancakes? You can easily double or triple this recipe if you have a big family to feed.
Storing and Freezing
They are best served hot and fresh! Leftovers don’t store that well because they can become soggy from the blueberries.
However they do freeze very well. So if you have leftovers then it’s best to freeze them. Then you can simply reheat them directly from frozen in the toaster.
