Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes

Why you'll love this recipe

Are you a pancake fan?  Then you're going to love these blueberry buttermilk pancakes! We tend to make pancakes in our house every weekend.  We love them!  

There's no need to buy pancake mix when this recipe is so easy to throw together! The first batch can be ready in under 20 minutes! If you're serving a crowd, these are easy to keep warm in a low-temperature oven until all the pancakes are ready.

These blueberry buttermilk pancakes are fluffy and light and bursting with blueberries.

No buttermilk? No worries!!! I've got an easy-to-make buttermilk substitute that will work well in this recipe!

Fresh Blueberries

When available, I use fresh blueberries in pancakes. To use fresh blueberries:

  • Wash and drain blueberries
  • Make certain there isn't any excess water on berries
  • Add whole berries to batter
  • Cook as directed

Frozen Blueberries

When fresh blueberries aren't available, I use frozen blueberries in these pancakes. to use frozen blueberries:

  • Do not thaw berries
  • Don't add frozen berries to batter
  • Ladle pancake batter on hot griddle
  • Place 5-6 frozen berries on top of batter
  • Berries will sink slightly into batter
  • Cook pancake as directed
  • You may need to increase cooking time just slightly

Recipe tips

  • If batter is too thick, add a bit more buttermilk
  • Don't overmix the batter. Just stir until the flour is mixed in. A few small lumps are okay!
  • Every stove is different and you'll need to find the right temperature for cooking pancakes. I cook mine on a medium-low heat.
  • Make certain pan is hot before adding batter
  • Adjust temperature as needed
  • If pancakes are browning too quickly, turn heat down
  • Flip pancakes when holes begin to form on the top

Leftover pancakes

Do you ever have leftover pancakes? Don't toss them!

  • Once cooled place in an airtight container
  • Leftover pancakes are perfect for snacking on during the day - just eat at room temperature, no syrup, no butter, just a plain pancake
  • Freeze leftover pancakes in a single layer in a freezer bag
  • For breakfast, pull out as many pancakes as desired. Place on a microwave-proof dish and microwave for 30-60 seconds. Time cooked depends on the number of pancakes and power of microwave.

    A little too sweet for me and not enough salt. I don’t like sweet pancakes and this was a little much—I’ll cut back to 1 tablespoon next time. Also they seemed a little bland and I attribute that to not enough salt; I’m guessing the original recipe was created with salted butter and I use unsalted in all my cooking and baking. Other than that they were pretty good. Made a lot which we like because we freeze leftovers and re-warm in the toaster oven.
