About The Recipe
To be honest with you guys, getting this recipe made was a p-a-i-n!
We knew we wanted to make blueberry pancakes for National Pancake Day because, A) we had fresh and gorgeous blueberries, and B) blueberry pancakes are just the absolute best! So, off to work we went. The recipe development was a breeze.
The issue was the cooking. We couldn’t get these pancakes to brown evenly! We tried different pans, even our cast iron griddle.
Nothing would work.
Then, my mom had the brilliant idea to order an electric griddle and… ohmygosh, guys.
This made life so much easier and it browned our pancakes beautifully!
Buuuut, now we have an abundance of pancakes in the freezer. It’s almost overwhelming how much is in there.
Thankfully, they are all delicious and healthy…ish!
Everything is always a little more healthy once you add fruit to it, right?

Ingredients
- Blueberries
- All-Purpose Flour
- Lemon Rind
- Sugar
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Milk
- Eggs
- Butter
Instructions
Combine all dry ingredients into a large bowl, So, flour, lemon zest, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk together!
Add milk, melted butter, and eggs to a medium sized bowl and mix until well combined.
Now, combine the wet and dry ingredients! It’s okay for your batter to be lumpy so, don’t worry too much about it.
Gently fold in the blueberries and you’re ready to start cooking! Seriously easy, right?
Using a 1/3 cup measure, pour the pancake onto a greased and hot griddle or pan. When the pancake begins to dry out around the edges, quickly flip and let brown on the other side. This should take about 3-5 minutes. It all depends on your heat source so, keep an eye on your pancakes!
Once the pancakes are done, place them on a plate and serve! It’s really that easy!
Topping Ideas
The best thing about blueberry pancakes is that they with absolutely everything! But, here are some of my favorites.
- Butter and maple syrup
- Whipped cream and blueberries
- Chopped strawberries
- Raspberries
- Sliced almonds
- Sliced bananas and granola
- Blueberry syrup
Let me know what some of your favorites are! I really gotta say maple syrup and butter is my absolute favorite way to enjoy these.
How To Store
The best way to store them is definitely in the freezer. We have so many pancakes in the there and they taste almost as good heated up as they do the day you make them! Just store them in a freezer safe bag. When you want them, take them out and reheat in the microwave!
Expert Tips
- Make sure you don’t over beat the pancake batter! It’s meant to be a lumpy batter.
- Using a 1/3 cup measure will ensure all the pancakes are equal size. This means they will all cook evenly and at the same speed.
- If you see your grease starting to burn, carefully wipe your pan/griddle clean. Let it cool slightly, spray again and start cooking again!
- Use smaller blueberries rather than large ones in your batter! The smaller the blueberry = the more blueberries you can have in your pancakes!
- Make sure your eggs and milk are room temperature. This will ensure the melted butter doesn’t curdle and harden again when you mix it all together.
