This Fluffiest Blueberry Pancakes Recipe is perfect for a sweet, cozy breakfast.
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour – 1 ½ cups
- Baking powder – 2 teaspoons
- Baking soda – ½ teaspoon
- Salt – ¼ teaspoon
- Sugar – 2 tablespoons
- Buttermilk – 1 ¼ cups
- Egg – 1 large
- Egg white – 1 large separate
- Unsalted butter – 3 tablespoons melted
- Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
- Fresh blueberries – 1 cup
Instructions
Preheat Pan
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray for even cooking.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar until well combined.
Mix Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine Wet and Dry
- Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients. Stir gently until mostly combined; batter should be slightly lumpy.
Beat Egg White
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form. This step adds fluffiness.
Fold Egg White
- Carefully fold the beaten egg white into the pancake batter. Do not overmix to keep air in batter.
Add Blueberries
- Gently fold fresh blueberries into batter. Ensure berries are evenly distributed without breaking them.
Pour Batter
- Use a ladle to pour batter onto the preheated skillet. Make medium-sized pancakes for even cooking.
Cook Pancakes
- Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Edges should look set before flipping.
Flip Pancakes
- Carefully flip pancakes using a spatula. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve Warm
- Stack pancakes on a plate. Add extra butter, maple syrup or more fresh blueberries. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use frozen blueberries if fresh aren’t available; thaw and pat dry before adding.
- Replace butter with coconut oil for a different flavor.
- Add lemon zest for extra freshness.
- Fold in chocolate chips instead of blueberries for a sweet variation.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in oven at 90°C (200°F) until serving.
- Avoid overmixing batter to ensure pancakes stay fluffy.
