A stack of blueberry pancakes that are so soft and pillowy, they practically melt in your mouth – that’s what mornings should feel like. These Fluffiest Blueberry Pancakes deliver everything you want from a homemade breakfast: golden edges, bursts of juicy berries, and a fluffy center that makes every bite heavenly.

Whether you’re planning a lazy weekend brunch or looking to upgrade your weekday breakfast, this recipe is your go-to. They’re easy to whip up, incredibly satisfying, and made with simple ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen. Just add fresh or frozen blueberries and you’re on your way to pancake bliss.

Why You’ll Love This Fluffiest Blueberry Pancakes Recipe

These pancakes are not only tall and airy, but they also bring that comforting taste of real home cooking. The secret lies in the way the batter is mixed and the baking powder does its magic. Plus, they are endlessly customizable. Prefer buttermilk? Want to toss in some lemon zest? This recipe can handle it.

What Kind of Blueberries Should I Use?

Fresh blueberries are always ideal because they hold their shape and don’t bleed into the batter. But frozen blueberries work just as well – just make sure to use them straight from the freezer to prevent streaking. Wild blueberries are smaller and more intense in flavor, perfect if you want a punchier bite. If you can find them, give them a try for a fun twist on the classic.

Ingredients for the Fluffiest Blueberry Pancakes

To make these pancakes, you only need a few pantry staples plus some fresh or frozen blueberries. The key is in the ratios and gentle mixing – don’t overmix your batter or you’ll lose that tender texture.

All-purpose flour
Baking powder
Salt
Granulated sugar
Egg
Milk
Butter (melted)
Vanilla extract
Blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Each ingredient plays a crucial role here: baking powder makes the pancakes rise, milk keeps the batter loose and pourable, while butter and egg bind everything together with rich flavor. Don’t skip the vanilla – it adds a warm undertone that enhances the berries.

How To Make the Fluffiest Blueberry Pancakes

Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. This ensures the baking powder is evenly distributed so your pancakes rise evenly.

Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, beat the egg lightly, then add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and uniform.

Step 3: Make the Batter

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix – a few lumps are perfectly fine.

Step 4: Fold in Blueberries

Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to burst them if using fresh ones.

Step 5: Cook the Pancakes

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

Step 6: Serve Warm

Serve immediately with a pat of butter, maple syrup, or even whipped cream if you’re feeling indulgent.

How to Serve and Store These Pancakes

This recipe yields about 8 medium pancakes, which comfortably serves 3 to 4 people. For best texture and taste, serve them warm right off the griddle. If you’re cooking for a crowd, keep them warm in a 200°F oven until ready to serve.

Leftovers? No problem. Store any extras in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They reheat beautifully in the toaster or microwave. For longer storage, freeze them between layers of parchment paper and toast them straight from the freezer.
