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.

Key ingredients

Ingredients for making pancakes.
  • Blueberries - fresh or frozen
  • Buttermilk
  • Flour - all purpose flour
  • Eggs
  • Butter

Step by step directions

  • Whisk eggs in a bowl
  • Add buttermilk
  • Stir in sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and melted butter
  • Mix in flour
  • Pouring buttermilk into a bowl with a whisk.
  • Whisking flour into milk.
  • Mix just until all flour has been incorporated
  • Fold in blueberries
  • Pancake batter in a bowl.
  • Adding blueberries to pancake batter.
  • Heat a griddle over medium heat
  • Spray lightly with a nonstick spray
  • Add ½ cup of batter
  • Once holes begin to form on top, flip pancake
  • Folding blueberries into pancake batter.
  • Cooking blueberry pancakes.

Fresh Blueberries

When I can, 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 a 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 amount of pancakes and power of microwave.

I like to eat homemade breakfast sausage, apple breakfast sausage or our homemade bacon with pancakes.

    Oh man, a good stack of blueberry pancakes is about as awesome as it can get for breakfast! And I have to respectfully disagree with Rod here...I'd be perfectly happy with a stack of these pancakes for dinner. Great photos, Kathy!!

    I'm a blueberry fan. I'm a pancake fan. Going to make these this weekend. And I bet they freeze really well? What do you think. Blueberries are only 2 bucks a pound in stores! We've been goggling them down. Would love to plant some blueberry bushes, it's definitely on the agenda!

      Hi Laura,
      Both these pancakes and fresh blueberries can be frozen. We usually stock up on blueberries when they are in season and freeze them by the gallons. The kids love to snack on frozen berries all year long!

    Oh yum! Those look fluffy and filled to the brim with blueberries! I love that they are so simple. I'll have to modify the egg part, but that's no big deal. I'm gonna give these a try soon!
