I’m not so sure there is such a thing as the perfect pancake for me. I like fluffy pancakes, but I also don’t mind if they aren’t super fluffy either. I guess I’m just happy as long as they taste really good.

However, I know some people prefer the fluffiest pancakes you can find, so that’s what I’m giving you with this Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes recipe. These babies came out super fluffed up and loaded with sweet blueberry flavor!

Why This Recipe Works

These are the fluffiest pancakes you can even imagine. I don’t know what it is, but the fluffier, the better, right?

They are full of classic, sweet blueberry flavor. They are delicious on their own or with just a pat of butter, or load them up with maple or blueberry syrup for added sweetness.

You can enjoy these blueberry pancakes for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner. Don’t you just love breakfast for dinner?

How to Make Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes

What You Need To Make This Recipe

To make this recipe, you will need:

  • 2 cups all purposes flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • butter or non-stick cooking spray for cooking

You will also need a griddle or a large, flat bottomed, non-stick skillet.

The entire recipe and instructions can also be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post. You can also print the recipe from the card, if needed.

Prep!

Rinse the blueberries and remove any stems.

Pancakes Ingredients in a Bowl over a wood background

Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium size bowl. Stir to combine.

Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture and add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.

Chef’s Tip: you can substitute vanilla coffee creamer instead of milk to give these pancakes added sweetness with a hint of vanilla.

Pancake Batter in a Bowl with a whisk on a wood background

Whisk until everything is just combined. Be sure not to over-mix the batter. Doing so can result in rubbery pancakes. It’s okay if there are still some small lumps in the batter.

Gently fold in the blueberries. Set aside to rest while you preheat your griddle or pan.

Preheat your griddle to 300°F or a large, flat bottomed, non-stick skillet to medium or medium-low heat.

Chef’s Tip: cook the pancakes at a lower temperature so that they cook more slowly. This will allow the pancakes to cook through all the way without browning too much on the outside.

Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes Cooking on a Griddle

Scoop out 1/4 cup batter per pancake and place on the griddle. Cook until lightly golden on the bottom and bubbles just start appearing on top. Flip and cook 2-3 more minutes or until the bottom is golden as well.

Remove to a plate.

Tips and Techniques for the Best Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes

  • Try vanilla coffee creamer instead of milk to give these pancakes added sweetness with a hint of vanilla.
  • Be sure not to over-mix the batter. Doing so can result in rubbery pancakes. It’s okay if there are still some small lumps in the batter.
  • These pancakes are cooked at a lower temperature to allow the center to cook fully without the outside getting too dark.
  • Top these pancakes with butter, maple syrup, or even Blueberry Sauce for even more blueberry flavor.

FAQ’s

How Do You Make Pancakes Fluffy?

The addition of extra baking powder makes pancakes more fluffy.

Do You Cut Blueberries For Pancakes?

There is no need to cut the blueberries that you use in pancakes.

Can You Freeze Pancakes?

Yes. Freeze pancakes with a sheet of wax paper between each one. Use within 1-2 months for the best results.
